A dynasty is called a dynasty because it has a long history. And we shouldn't get sloppy and forget the history of American Dynasties like the House of Bush. When the past is held in mind simultaneous with the present, well, things smell different.
For example, J.P. Morgan is guaranteed a no fail purchase of Bear-Stearns.
Well, back in 1919 George Herbert Walker (the grandfather of...
...George Walker Bush (Bush 43)) forged (evidently permanent) ties to the banking establishment J.P. Morgan and Co. George Herbert Walker was valued as a "premier deal-arranger", skilled at operating with a confidentiality that has been described as "mysterious".
Fastforward past Prescott Bush (George Herbert Walker's son-in-law and Bush 41's father) and his role as a money shuffling/laundering invesment specialist for financing the rise of Hitler and the Nazis. Fastforward past Neil Bush (son of Bush 41 and brother of Bush 43) and his part in the Savings and Loan Scam of the l980s. Even fastforward past the Iraq war profiteering and domestic disaster profiteering during the Bush Administration's watch.
Fastforward to 2008.
I can't help wondering who will be PROFITTING in this win-coming/win-going Bear-Stearns/J.P. Morgan deal. Of all giveaways, how is it that J.P. Morgan, with a history tied to the Bush Family, is now the evident beneficiary?
I don't know what that smell is. But could it be the smell of that old-fashioned Bush Family recipe, the 'Insiders Always Win Kennebunkport Bake'?
