Bush's Uncle Profits From Iraq Stock Sale

By MATT KELLEY
Associated Press Writer

WASHINGTON (AP) (http://hosted.ap.org/dynamic/stories/B/BUSH_UNCLE_IRAQ?SITE=NYBUE&SECTION=HOME&TEMPLATE=DEFAULT) -- President Bush's uncle made more than $450,000 last month by selling stock in a defense contractor whose profits are growing because of the Iraq war, records show.

William H.T. Bush made the money by exercising stock options in St. Louis-based Engineered Support Systems, Inc. Bush is a member of ESSI's board of directors and therefore had to report the sale to the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Bush, the youngest brother of former President George H.W. Bush, did not return a telephone message seeking comment Wednesday afternoon. He told the Los Angeles Times, which first reported the stock sale Wednesday, that he had not pulled any strings in Washington for the company.

ESSI on Tuesday reported record income of $20.6 million for the three months ending Jan. 31, a 31 percent increase. The company said the expansion came mainly from increases in ESSI's military contracts. Those include adding armor to military trucks, refurbishing trailers the Army uses to haul tanks, and supporting satellite communications for troops in war zones, ESSI CEO Gerald Potthoff said in a statement.

Bush cashed in stock options on Jan. 20, weeks before the company's latest earnings report. SEC documents show he sold 8,438 shares of ESSI stock at a profit of $53.36 a share. That's a total profit of $450,251.68.

Bush wasn't the only ESSI official to cash in on the company's rising stock price. Five other officers or directors of the company have sold stock so far this year, SEC records show, with two of them profiting less than Bush and three making more. The biggest windfall went to Gary C. Gerhardt, the company's vice chairman and chief financial officer, who made nearly $7.5 million from selling stock on Jan. 31.

The Pentagon's inspector general is investigating whether an ESSI subsidiary improperly got a contract to make equipment from the Air Force. That contract was overseen by Darleen Druyun, a former Air Force contracting official serving a nine-month prison term for contract fraud involving Boeing.

Are any of those bums not on a board of directors somewhere?

[DrMaddVibe]

Is he supposed to take a loss?

Nevermind those Tyson shares that Hillary parlayed into a tidy profit! Fucking carpetbagger!

Nevermind the Global Crossing shares that McAuliffe was able to profit from.

Only those "mean ol' Republicans" can turn a nasty profit.

True. There is a lot of bi-partisan shady profiteering to go around. But these are "War Profits" which makes them a little more unseemly.

[CROWBAR]

George Bush is the worst president, fuck him and his mealy mouth ways

[Big Train]

I suppose. Whitewater was unseemly. Thread title is a bit dramatic though.

Bush's uncle is a corrupt cunt though (or was it his other, 'blacksheep' brother). And we know that White Water was thoroughly investigated. Obviously they found nothing of substance.

The same 11 states of trailer parks who thought Junior could save them from Sodomites (except his own press room) will NEVER vote for either a Black OR a woman Presidential candidate - let alone a Black woman.

But that's what the Republicans get when they depend on hate to swing an election.

[Warham]

Hillary may be a republican in disguise, but Howard Dean will always be a racist. Next thing he'll say is that all hispanics work as landscapers.

Now only her "husband" Junior would know whether or not she's a hot piece of azzzzzzzz (Who are you, MC Ren??)

But I believe I specifically mentioned red state trailer parks. You live in a blue state (regardless of how improbable that may seem)

Now who's the racist?

The fucking hair is old school ugly. Has nothing to do with race. Why do morons like you have to play the race card?

And if you think it's "nappy", then you're a bigger moron than previously thought.

Just like the fucknuts who called Sen. Boxer a racist for making condi stand by her statements:rolleyes:

You want to play race-baiting, do it with someone else.

No. Actually Alicia Keys is quite brilliant. I'm not a big fan of her music, but she is a real talent.

In any case, they would all have been as equally effective at stopping 9/11.

3 entries found for toady.
toad·y ( P ) Pronunciation Key (td)
n. pl. toad·ies
A person who flatters or defers to others for self-serving reasons; a sycophant.

tr. & intr.v. toad·ied, toad·y·ing, toad·ies
To be a toady to or behave like a toady. See Synonyms at fawn1.


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[From toad.]
Word History: The earliest recorded sense (around 1690) of toady is “a little or young toad,” but this has nothing to do with the modern usage of the word. The modern sense has rather to do with the practice of certain quacks or charlatans who claimed that they could draw out poisons. Toads were thought to be poisonous, so these charlatans would have an attendant eat or pretend to eat a toad and then claim to extract the poison from the attendant. Since eating a toad is an unpleasant job, these attendants came to epitomize the type of person who would do anything for a superior, and toadeater (first recorded 1629) became the name for a flattering, fawning parasite. Toadeater and the verb derived from it, toadeat, influenced the sense of the noun and verb toad and the noun toady, so that both nouns could mean “sycophant” and the verb toady could mean “to act like a toady to someone.”

I'm happily retired at 43, with more income than I'll ever need:rolleyes:

I have 20 years of touring/recording/songwriting to look back on, residual income to rely on, and plenty of mindless hobbies to concentrate on.

How's YOUR daily grind? Hit 50K a year yet?

I have exactly the life I dreamed of. I'm one lucky SOB:D

But the question must be asked.......why do you care?

[DrMaddVibe]

LM...we're more alike than you'll ever know.

50K in bonds or muni's?...This year...so far?


I really don't care, but it seems that most of the people that like to spittle and spew about GW have accomplished NOTHING! At the end of their lives a living résumé could be written and the loudest voices will have done nothing to compare with the person,people,object that occupies their frontal lobes.

Most of the loudest complainers won't run for political office but they're going to belch out topics like they're the authoritative voice of the politico world! They wouldn't be allowed in conversations with most issues and they sure as hell won't be called upon for anything. The talk to hear their own voice! They will pale in comparirison at the end of the day.

I'm willing to put up with mistakes as long as action is in progress. Do I agree lock-step with GW...no. Same with the Republican party. There will be problems with every party and political affiliation. They're comprised of people.

People make mistakes.

Most of the loudest complainers are so disenfranchised and pissed off that they are beyond the ability to patiently debate, wait, and compromise. And most don't have the ability to completely circumvent their morals just to make a buck, which is the point of politics these days.

From the film "A Christmas Story", where a "Toady" is defined as a hanger-on or sidekick of a bully:

"Randy lay there like a slug: It was his only defense. In our world you were either a bully, a toady, or one of the nameless rabble of victims."
