Someone needs to holler Uncle .. Bucky
Now to be fair, Uncle Bucky Bush has not been accused of any wrongdoing personally .. but it is sadly ironic that a Bush is making millions of bucks from illegal acts by defense contractors.
Ya think that's why they call him 'Bucky?'
"WASHINGTON -- President Bush's uncle William H.T. "Bucky" Bush was among directors of a defense contractor who together reaped $6 million from what federal regulators say was an illegal five-year scheme by two company executives to manipulate the timing of stock option grants, court documents show.
The youngest brother of former President George H.W. Bush, he is the second Bush family member whose name has surfaced in stock options scandals this month.
He was an outside, nonexecutive director of Engineered Support Systems Inc. of St. Louis, a supplier of military equipment and electronics that financially benefited from the Iraq war. It was acquired last year by another defense contractor and has been under federal investigation on suspicion of options backdating.[..]"
Well .. isn't that special? .. that a 66 year old uncle would get a prime job with a firm like Engineered Support Systems Inc, at about the same time that his favorite nephew would become President of the United States?
Who and how many in the Bush White House have financial holding in companies making profits off the Iraq Civil War Quagmire?
Uncle Bucky, go forth and campaign for the Republicans in 08 .. do our nation a service.
