Wow...have you heard about this? a nanny of bush's brother killed?
Edited on Wed Nov-07-07 05:44 PM by greenbriar
If you want to bring that out then let's question thet mysterious death of the nanny that lived in the household of George W. Bush's brother who was head of the security at the World Trade Center when 9/11 happened. This nanny was mysteriously killed by her own car while it was running in the driveway at Bush's residence. It is rumored that the nanny knew too much about Bush's dealings about the lack of security at the World Trade Center and how that had a part in the attack on 9/11.



don't see this on snopes

anyone?



someone brought this up in a different message board arguing against someone who wanted to bring up Ted Kennedy

years ago. Quite interesting.

4. Partially myth-based.
For the umpteenth time: Marvin Bush was NOT the head of security at the World Trade Center on 9/11. In 99 or 2000, Marvin Bush left the Board of Directors of a security company that did work for the WTC. Their contracts with the WTC ended around the same time. There's no evidence that Marvin Bush ever had any kind of operational role in any of the company's actual jobs, and even less that he had anything to do with WTC security.

As for the nanny, it's true that she died, though the "under mysterious circumstances" bit is pretty much just innuendo. It's like the "Clinton Body Count" tapes that Jerry Falwell hawked back in the 90s.

7. Correct.
Though I heard it as being a garage. The vehicle was left in gear and rolled.

compared siblings of other presidents.

13. Her name was Bertha Champagne.
Popular Belle Haven employee remembered as 'angel on earth.'
By Gale Curcio
October 30, 2003


Bertha Champagne gets a hug from President George W. Bush, brother of Marvin Bush, whose family Bertha helped care for in Mount Vernon.

<snip>

Bertha Champagne was killed Monday, September 29, around 9 p.m., when she was pinned between a rolling car and a building.

<snip>

One of the families she cared for was the Bush family: Margaret and Marvin and their two children, Marshall and Walker. It was in front of their home where the tragic accident happened.

Margaret Bush said, "It was a horrible accident. We don't know exactly what happened. She went to her car to get something and then it happened."

BUSH REMEMBERS Champagne fondly. "She was a member of the family after 12 years. There was a great deal of love and loyalty," said Bush. "She helped me in a variety of ways; often she would work at Belle Haven until 8, and then come over to watch the kids. She was always the one who would fill in babysitting, watching the dogs. We're very grateful how dearly she cared for us."

15. Could have been drunk..
I would think you'd have to drink heavily to reside with the Bush family.
