Why is President Bush's brother hanging out with an alleged Russian mobster?

If you look at this innocuous little tidbit from the Guardian UK, you'll see that Neil Bush, brother of President George W. Bush, is palling around in public with exiled Russian billionaire Boris Berezovsky at a sporting event in England. Nothing of note is mentioned in the item, just some scuttlebutt about UK soccer transactions.

You all remember Neil Bush, right? Billy Carter pales in comparison to this guy. Neil Bush made his bones with the spectacular $1 billion failure of Silverado Savings & Loan and has been involved in several sordid adventures since. But he’s been out of the public eye for a long time, surely to keep from embarrassing his brother.

And who is Boris Berezovsky, you ask? Well, take a look at his Wikipedia entry. You’ll see that Berezovsky, or Platon Elenin as he prefers to be called, has ties to Chechen terrorists and was the subject of a book that claimed he was “a mafia boss who had his rivals murdered.” So what the heck is he doing hobnobbing with the brother of the president of the United States?

Maybe Helen Thomas can ask Tony Snow about it, next time she’s allowed back into the Washington press corps.

1. Exiled billionaire, Putin opponent = neocon hero

And Chechen terrorists are the good guys to US conservatives.

2. "Bravo for Boris Badenov" - BushCo republicon crony chant

Or do I have this corrupt republicon crony confused with the cronies who hang with Bullwinkle J. Moose?

By the way, why are so many republicons, like Neil Bush (brother of George AWOL Bush) sex deviants?

What is it with that?

3. That'd be Neil "Silverado" Bush - Massive Government Bailout Boyo

He ran the Silverado Savings & Loan into the ground, then collected beaucoup taxpayer bucks on a republicon crony government bailout.

You can always depend fat-cat republicon cronies to line up for "special" treatment from the government, while cutting benefits for the poor, the sick, and our Veterans.

for one and all

From Wikipedia (Boris sounds like one of the Bush Corrupt Cronies alright):

"Berezovsky's image among Russians is generally poor; many consider him the most unlawful and unethical of the oligarchs and blame him especially for the country's economic collapse. They believe that he, like other oligarchs, defrauded the government through Yeltsin's privatization program.."
