Neil Bush, the brother of our (cough, cough) intrepid leader, married a woman who was a former volunteer for his mother...he had divorced his wife of 23 years last year in a messy proceding...while the wedding was a small family affair, followed by a reception of about 150 people, there were two notable absences...neither the prez, or Jeb, governor of Florida attended.
Just goes to show that politics and family make for shitty bedfellows...while no reason was given for the absences, it is unforgivable in my eyes that Georgie would miss his brother's wedding...family should come before politics, and he should have been there to support his bro, even though that would have meant dealing with the press, and his crititcs...of course he will still probably have those two groups to deal with...i guess given his moral stance, the prez didn't want to be seen as supporting something as wrong as being married twice, where the first ended in divorce...it could have been worse, Neil could have married a man
