Did Neil Bush, George W.'s bro, ever get indicted for the huge S&L scandal of the 1980s?

Here's the sad story of poor ol' Neil:\n\nThe US Office of Thrift Supervision investigated the failure of Silverado and determined that Bush had engaged in numerous "breaches of his fiduciary duties involving multiple conflicts of interest." Although Bush was not indicted on criminal charges, a civil action was brought against him and the other Silverado directors by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation; it was eventually settled out of court, with Bush paying $50,000 as part of the settlement, as reported in the Style section of the Washington Post [3].\n\nWHAT! The "STYLE" Section of the Washington Post reported it? $50k - I guess that'll buy a lot of chinz...

Heard of it a while back.  I think just about every president has done it.  This is what Bush was attacked over after 9/11 when he was accused of not paying attention, so Clinton was doing it as well.\n\nMonitoring of phone records is really nothing new.

Clinton was far more articulate. His lies actually made you think 'maybe he telling the truth'. I assume that because he was a lawyer and thats what they do best. Bush has a Business degree. Thats why he always seems to be trying to 'sell' us something.

Dan Rather's story was not false, but the papers he used were. His story is true, George W. Bush was AWOL from the air national guard. As a matter of fact he was absent from the guard for about a year. No one in Alabama ever recalls seeing him. We were at war with Vietnam, to be AWOL in a time of war for more than 30 days is considered desertion and treason. He does not qualify to be president if it could ever be pr oven. He had the records destroyed when he was governor of Texas. Furthermore Dan Rather ought to be given a medal for attempting to inform the public. There is a million dollar reward put out there for anyone who seen George Bush while serving in the Alabama National Guard. Don't you think if anyone who served could recall seeing him they would step forward,. The reason he could not fly planes after 1972 is he refused to take a drug test on his physical, that is the year that the military implemented drug testing of servicemen in all branches. The Republican party does not want anyone to be able to prove George W.Bush was not in Alabama, they attacked Dan Rather on the only grounds they could the story was true, they did not deny the story, they stated the papers were fraudulent.

You bet I would!  Bush should be impeached and tried as a war criminal along with most of his cabinet.He comes from old bluebood money.  Barabara Bush's Great great great grandfather was President Pierce who supported slavery. Of course Bush's dad and grandfather were politicians. MOst of the BUsh boys have been in some sort of trouble.  I.e Neil and the Savings and loan scandel\n\nThe Bush family is raping this country and when its over we will be left at the mercy of Christian Fundamentlaist(so called, most just angry white men with docile housewives) Then watch out.  All of our liberties that are slowly being wiped out will be used against us and forums like this will exist no longer. Sorry I'm just really angry that people aren't doing anything to stop Bush.

Bush is definitly a much better president\n\nThere were more scandals during clinton's presidency then any others.  The head of FBI during clinton's presidency gave back his confidential access to the white house because he didn't want to be considered part of one of the scandals.  he spent more time investigating the white house the doing anything else during his eight years\n\nI won't even touch most of the things that went on but i do have to mention his affair

Umm...Saddam did some really bad things during his reign as ruler of Iraq. Whether Bush is a criminal or not will be determined by history.

It was an attempted impeachment by The House of Reps.  Clinton was NOT impeached from his position as President of the United States.\n\nMy, my JETDOC, must be you haven't met up with Monica ;)  Maybe you should.  Your tongue...no, your type is sarcastic and undeserved, maybe such a release would loosen your stiffness some ;).  Must be a BUSH fan =)).  My thought is lying about a little oral sodomy does not compare to what BUSH has done to this country with his continued lies.  Such a comparison of lies..I still know who I'd choose...nothing like the smell of a sweet cigar!\n\njl_jack09, my apology for responding to JETDOC in your space...and I stand corrected by the happy man for my error in understanding.\n\nxo

here is the cont. i found on the internet:\n\n\nAll he did was swing that hammer, time after time after time. "No, I've got this problem with my shoulder. I would be in constant agony if all I could do was break rocks all day," commented George.\n\nThe devil opened a third door. In it, Bush saw Bill Clinton, lying on the floor with his arms staked over his head, and his legs staked in a spread eagle pose. Bent over him was Monica Lewinsky, doing what she does best. Bush took this in disbelief and finally said, "Yea, I can handle this." The devil smiled and said "OK, Monica, you're free to go."\n\nThank you, I'm here all day!!\n \n\n^_^

I wouldn't worry. Bush and Kerry both have been asked "point-blank" about their membership in S&B during interviews, and they didn't leave :)

I was originally as surprised by this unexpected announcement last Friday as you were, planksheer. But as one of your subsequent questions indicates, we may have the answer: the "new" Watergate scandal. I think goss was up to his neck in the illegal gambling and prostitution ring that was being operated by these upper level ANP swine and bush threw him over the side as soon as his intelligence people made him aware of the facts -- and especially the consequences. \n\nThat said, bush may well not have been happy with his hand-picked appointee's track record at the agency. Reports suggest goss routinely butted heads with old guard CIA officials who basically refused to cooperate with him (and who can blame them?). Clandestine organizations like that operate best when upper level officials are more or less on the same page and no one is out to make waves or set himself up as potentate, as goss apparently attempted to do. We should know more about all of this as leaks begin spouting (i.e., very soon).\n\nAnd I share your concerns about this new appointee, gen. michael hayden. He is thick as thieves with Dr. Evil (aka dick cheney) and that alone is enough for me to wish him to never make it out of committee. The fact that he headed up the illegal domestic spying program would, in normal times, be enough for him not even to be under consideration. Indeed, he'd likely be fighting his way through court trying to avoid prison time. This country -- or at least the government alleged to represent us -- in its present state is clinically insane.

I'm so sick of staunch conservatives bringing up the Clinton scandal.  Almost every president we've ever had, had mistresses. Apparently there was a time when the media didn't feel the need to air dirty laundry. It is rather comical, however, that the same people lampooning morality and declaring gay marriage a sin often turn out to be a pedifiles and closet homosexuals.

Don, they not only bashed him for 8 years but they investigated his every move for the 20 years before. He was accused of everything that happened in America for those 20 years. If you remember what started out as an investigation into a business deal gone bad ended up with Monica. I to this day think she was a plant because they could find nothing else to get him on. He was even accused in Vincent Foster's suicide. Ron Browns Plane wreck and numerous other "crimes". We did not know what crime was until Bush took office and I for one will be on his case and those that voted for him and especially the mentally deficient that just do not get it, until at least 2 weeks after he leaves office. That is my duty as a patriot.
