WPost: Neil Bush's Nasty Divorce, Sex w/Prostitutes

So President George W. Bush wants to do all he can to save the supposedly-imperiled institution of marriage from hedonistic homosexuals and our relationships? He's pulling out all the stops to amend the constitution to define marriage as an institution between one man and one woman.

Well, before he's allowed to enshrine his homo-hatred in to the constitution, and save his remaining years in the White House from irrelevance, I wish to remind him of his brother Neil's commitment to his own marriage, and the institution.

The Washington Post, in a somewhat gleeful profile back in 2003, spilled lots of beans on this Bush brother and his apparently normal heterosexual male behavior with his wife and his mistress. Remember these family values details in the Post?

Just how much fun was revealed in a deposition taken last March, during Bush's very nasty divorce battle. Asked by his wife's attorney whether he'd had any extramarital affairs, Bush told the story of his Asian hotel room escapades.

"Mr. Bush," said the attorney, Marshall Davis Brown, "you have to admit that it's a pretty remarkable thing for a man just to go to a hotel room door and open it and have a woman standing there and have sex with her."

"It was very unusual," Bush replied.

Actually, it wasn't that unusual. It happened at least three or four times during Bush's business trips to Asia, he said: "I don't remember the exact number."

"Were they prostitutes?" asked Brown.

"I don't -- I don't know," Neil replied.

"Did you pay them?"

"No."

Let me make sure I've got this right on the family values Bush crowd and their family members. It's okay for them to engage in sex with lots women who aren't their wives and to sex with those women, especially when it involves lucrative business deals, right? And when such activities become public as part of divorce proceedings, Dubya has nothing to say about the sanctity of marriage. Did Bush have laryngitis during Neil's divorce?

More from the Post:

Even before the voodoo story and the paternity rumor and the defamation suit about the paternity rumor, Neil Bush's divorce was a candidate for the Nasty Breakup Hall of Fame.

It all began in 2002, when Bush informed his wife -- via e-mail -- that he no longer loved her and wanted a divorce.

At least that's the way Sharon Bush told the story back when she was still talking to reporters. Neil has never discussed the divorce in public, except in that now-famous deposition, in which he described his marriage as "loveless" with "no affection" and "very little sexual activity over the past 10 or 12 years."

Sharon, 51, claimed she was shocked to learn that her husband of 22 years had taken up with Maria Andrews, 40, a volunteer helping Neil's mother, former first lady Barbara Bush, with her correspondence. Andrews is the ex-wife of a Houston oil executive and the mother of three children.

And I am shocked to learn the president's brother may have sired a child outside of his traditional heterosexual marriage. What is America coming to with such behavior by the Bush family?

Now that Dubya has made his speech today about the alleged need to write homo-hatred into the constitution, I hope he picks up the phone, calls Neil and asks how his latest marriage is going.
