For a cheap thrill (along with a spine-tingling
jolt of maximum power),
it's hard to top the divorce deposition of presidential
sibling Neil Bush.
The dirty Q&A is the legalese equivalent of
the Paris Hilton video. Though produced in private
10 months ago, during Neil's nasty split from
wife Sharon, the 270-page document has been
making its way in recent days to gossips around
the country, including yours truly.
Here are some stomach-flipping excerpts of Sharon
Bush's attorney, Marshall Davis Brown,
mercilessly grilling President Bush's wayward
little brother:
Bush: "I had sexual intercourse with perhaps three
or four, I don't remember the exact number,
women, at different times. In Thailand once,
I have a pretty clear recollection that there was
one time in Thailand and in Hong Kong."
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."
Brown then interrogates Bush's about his various sex partners: "Did you pay them for that sex?"
Bush: "No, I did not."
Brown: "Pick them up in a sushi house?"
Bush: "No. ... My recollection is, where I can recall, they came to my room."
Brown: "Do you know the name of that hotel? I may go to Thailand sometime."
Sharon and Neil are now divorced, and Robert Andrews
- ex-husband of Neil's fiance,
Maria Andrews - is suing Sharon for her repeated
claims that Maria's young child is Neil's.
In the meantime, maybe the Pentagon should dispatch
Marshall Brown to chat up Saddam Hussein.
