George H.W. "Gampy" Bush isn't the only one who left his vile bodily fluids in a Pacific Rim nation, according to a Houston t.v. station:

In deposition videotape Neil Bush said, "I had had sexual intercourse with perhaps three or four, I don't remember the exact number, women, at different times."

He said it happened while he was in Southeast Asia several years ago. "In Thailand once, I have a pretty clear recollection that there was one time in Thailand and in Hong Kong," said Neil Bush in the deposition. "After you were married to Mrs. Bush?" a lawyer asked. He answered, "Yes."

When asked at depostion whether the women were prostitutes, he said he did not know, but denied paying them any money. (Emphasis added.)

It certainly wasn't your personality, Neil.

More interesting than Neil's sordid whore-hopping is the question of who paid for Neil's pleasure. In 2000, The Nation reported about former President G.H.W. Bush's ties with the Charoen Pokphand Group, "an enormous Bangkok-based agribusiness and telecommunications conglomerate and one of the largest foreign investors in China." The Nation found that

The Bush-CP Group connection extends to Neil Bush, one of President Bush's sons, who earned notoriety when, in 1992, he agreed to pay $50,000 to settle civil litigation related to the billion-dollar collapse of the Silverado Savings & Loan Association. (Bush, who sat on the S&L's board, was accused of concealing his business relationships with two of the bank's largest debtors.) During President Bush's 1994 visit to Bangkok, the former President met with officials of TelecomAsia, the CP Group subsidiary. According to a local newspaper account, Bush and the CP Group discussed "cooperative business ventures between Thailand and the United States." Soon after, Neil Bush created the Interlink Management Corporation, an international cable communications firm, which then sought out business opportunities for US firms in China. (Neil Bush set up shop in his father's office in Houston.) By November 1996 Neil Bush, through Interlink, had established a "joint venture consulting company" with the CP Group, according to the Financial Times of London, which published no other details about the deal. At that time, Neil Bush told the Associated Press that "joining with a company like CP is the best way to go. They already have the contacts and the access that can be so difficult for a company just coming in to get."

And they know all the best hookers.

On one ocassion in November 1996, Neilsie accompanied the CEO of CP Group, Dhanin Chearavanont, "to the grand opening of a CP Group motorcycle plant in Shanghai, China." They were joined by a Thai businesswoman later convicted of making illegal campaign contributions to the DNC. The article does not reveal whether Neil got his WASPy wiener wangled in Shanghai.

Could it be that Gampy was indirectly pimpin' for Neil, getting his loser son laid at the same time he was setting up deals for him? Let's hope that Sharon always used protection.
