Prescott S. Bush, Jr. dead at 87
HINGHAM, Mass. (AP) - Prescott S. Bush Jr., brother to one U.S. president and uncle to another, has died at age 87. A family statement says Bush died Wednesday in Hingham, Mass., after a long illness. He was brother of former President George H.W. Bush and the uncle of former President George W. Bush.

Bush grew up in Greenwich, Conn., and later returned to live there. He attended Phillips Academy in Andover and Yale University. The retired insurance executive was active in Connecticut politics as an adviser, campaign manager and fundraiser. In 1982 he was briefly a candidate for the U.S. Senate seat his father, Prescott Bush, held for two terms. He moved to Hingham three years ago.

No grave-dancing - just a reminder where the Bush family made their money

6. No, this is the one who sold us out to the Chinese
Prescott Sr was the Nazi. He's been burning in Hell since the 70's. This is Prescott Jr, as seen here with his little brother Poppy and one of their ChiCom "partners"

8. NO...wrong "Prescott."
It's like crime lord Paulie in "The Godfather" naming all his kids "Paulie." It's just another Bush.

4. "Pres" Bush probably no saint, but what do you expect from this bloodline?
I guess George H.W. Bush is next on the list to go.

This guy was no big deal...just one of the Bush leeches, AFAIC...

10. When I had heard that Prescott Bush Jr. collasped recently
Edited on Thu Jun-24-10 06:52 PM by political_Dem
I was surprised that Pappy Bush had an brother still living who was older than the former President.

However, it only shows that there exists more branches of the twisted tree that belongs to this ill begotten clan. Throughout the generations, America has been used, abused and spoiled by this family ruthlessly without stoppage. Even with Jeb's words the other day does not erase the total degradation that his family has wrought upon the earth. They might as well give up trying to clean up the Bush name because everyone knows--near and far--their crimes of the past and present. :(

19. Jeb defended W. the other day from comments made by the POTUS
about how America inherited the mess that the previous administration made.

He was trying to stick up for his ill-begotten brother and clean up the Bush legacy.

12. Another useless Bush.
His father is a criminal and traitor to America. His balls should have been castrated for it.

I lived in Hingham as a child.

Thankfully we moved away before the riff-raff moved in to town. :eyes:

16. The idea of all of them in one place
for any purpose but being arrested makes me cringe. A bodily driven toxic ooze of insincerity at every turn. Yucky.

17. Wonder if he will be buried with Geronimo's bones? Check it out.........
Edited on Thu Jun-24-10 07:29 PM by 1776Forever
I surmise Prescott S. was named after his father who stole Geronimo's bones:
