Neil Bush
President Bush has been trying to promote abstinence-only sex education. Apparently, his brother Neil hasn't been practicing abstinence.
Brown: "And you were married to Mrs. Bush?"
Bush: "Yes."
Brown: "Is that where you caught the venereal diseases?"
Bush: "No."
Brown: "Where did you catch those?"
Bush: "Diseases plural? I didn't catch..."
Brown: "Well, I'm sorry. How ... how many venereal diseases do you suffer from?"
Bush: "I've had one venereal disease."
Brown: "Which was?"
Bush: "Herpes."
-
I think if you've *had* herpes, you *have* herpes. But I could be wrong.
-
"I've had... herpes." Maybe I'm being overly critical in my parsing, but Neil seems to imply that he no longer suffers from it- that he's taken a bunch of penicillin and knocked it out of his system like so many chlamydia bacteria. Which is absurd. On preview: what petebest said.

I can't wait until the complete transcript is released.
-
Why wait? To the best of my knowledge (and Googling ability) no complete transcript has surfaced, but there are more juicy tidbits to be found hither and yon: Asked by Brown what his duties were at Crest, Neil Bush said he provided "miscellaneous consulting services, such as answering phone call[s]." He said he spent about three or four hours a week to earn the $60,000 from Crest. Not as sexy at the ThaiHookergate, but probably more important. Read the whole thing, and recall the stink that was made over perceived foreign campaign contribution improprieties to Clinton/Gore. But enough politics: more snapper! "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."
-
Isn't that about when Brown said, "Do you know the name of that hotel? I may go to Thailand sometime." I googled too and came up with the same links as you've posted. Wonder what'll come up next...
-
So how many Bush brothers are there? They seem to be endless. (As long as they aren't actually the Endless, I suppose. Now that would be frightening.)
-
I'd go more for these Endless - that amazing childlike innocence they have!
-
Even Despair looks cute.
-
I always loved Delirium. All the roles are fixed, but she gets to re-invent the whole script if she feels like it.
-
I'd go more for these Endless - that amazing childlike innocence they have! We're well overdue for the plush toys.

Awww... Death in a cute sailor suit!
