To: Sharon Bush
From: Neil Bush
Subject: I'm divorcing you!
Bcc: Poppy and Barbara Bush


Here's the latest on
Neil Bush's divorce, for those of you keeping score.
She said she received an email
Sharon Bush
from her husband saying, he wasn't sure they should remain married.

"And I, after 22 years was stunned," she says. "I said, 'You're firing me?' I said, 'What do you mean, you're firing me?' He said, 'No, I just don't love you.'"
Why do I bother keeping up with this story? Because it represents three themes of great currency: (1) the inner machinations of the Bush dynasty, which has so far supplied the American people with two lousy presidents and is prepping a third (Jeb) in the wings, (2) Neil is one of the crooked Silverado beneficiaries of the 1980s savings and loan multibillion dollar bailout engineered by his father, and (3) the shabby treatment and blackmail of Sharon Bush exposes "compassionate conservatism" as the tissue of lies it is.

We last wrote about Neil yesterday, as well as in more than a dozen other posts.
