*BUSH QUOTES (thanks Carolyn)*


"THERE'sS THREE THINGS TO REMEMBER: claim everything, explain nothing, deny everything." Prescott Bush, grandfather to the president, and a director of the Union Banking Corp. sanctioned by the US government for 'trading with the enemy' in October, 1942


"The truth is useless. You have to understand this right now. You can't deposit the truth in a bank. You can't buy groceries with the truth. You can't pay rent with the truth. The truth is a useless commodity that will hang around your neck like an albatross—all the way to the homeless shelter. And if you think that the million or so people in this country that are really interested in the truth about their government can support people who would tell them the truth, you got another think coming. Because the million or so people in this country that are truly interested in the truth don't have any money."

Spoken by Jeb Bush in conversation with Retired Naval Intelligence Officer, Al Martin and cited in Bushwhacked, by Uri Dowbenko, September, 2002
