Here's a clip from a book I've read: American Dynasty from the well-respected author Kevin Phillips.
p.315 ...no other political family in the United States has had anything remotely resembling the Bushes' four-decade relationship with the Saudi royal family and the oil sheikhs of the Persian Gulf.

With the disdain now for Georgie in the middle east, he might not get much more than the million for his library even from the Saudis.

So, now we know; The party and the person(s) who have profited from those evil Saudis is not who the Left has been frothing at the mouth about, but is actually dear old Bubba and his wife.

I wonder if this will derail her SoS nomination. You can bet your bottom dollar, the committee will be looking into all this foreign, evil money.
So the wine from those sour grapes has blinded you to the Bush family love affiar with the Saudi scum?

Nice try.
And we thought this forum was a non-spin zone.

Yeah, the constant hand holding pretty much did it for me, too.

Sanrene! Missed you. Where've you been? You missed some fun drama.
Thanks, Delu! I've been busy doing some decorating/renovating projects. Where are the fun drama threads?

I guess you haven't been following the news recently. Bubba finally, after 10 years of requests, finally disclosed his donors/fundraising.

How is that "old news"?
