"No Bush Left Behind Act --- Uncle Bucky Bush"
Wherever there’s a buck to be made by scamming tax payers, a member of the Bush family is sure be close at hand. Many Bush relatives are benefiting financially from the war in Iraq, and according to regulatory filings, Uncle William (Bucky) Bush has not been left behind....

On Jan 28, 2003, Jr gave his State of the Union address, including his now famous bogus allegation that Saddam was actively seeking nuclear weapon materials from Africa. In hindsight, maybe that was an advertisement for Bucky's products.


More than ever, it looks like Bush planned to invade Iraq before he won the White House, and one thing is indisputable, the war is filling the family coffers and will continue to do so for many years to come. The documented track record of ESS and Uncle Bucky is only a symbol of the larger pattern in which Bush family members and close associates are sharing the financial benefits generated by Jr's grand war profiteering scheme.

Uncle Bucky

What I find amazing, is that after droning on endlessly about Whitewater (a failed land deal involving $150,000), for 8 years during the Clinton years, now that Jr and his gang are ripping tax payers off for $100s of billions at a crack, the average person doesn't even realize it because the media isn't doing it's job of educating Americans about what is going on in our government.

I think the citizens deserve know which politicians in the Republican controlled Congress participated in passing the "Leave No Bush Behind Act of 2001," by turning a blind eye and playing deaf and dumb for the last 4 years.

2. Forget the media!
The Dems need to be screaming about this en masse, a la Galloway. They need to raise the rooftops so that the corporate whores CAN'T ignore it anymore. But they're still in "chess" mode.

5. He looks different than I expected.
I've heard of Uncle Bucky, but I expected more of a suave dapper-dan, like GHWB. It hides the evil better.
