Sorry if this was already covered but a quick search of DU came up empty. May have been overlooked with all the 'well-wishing' over Cheney.

Prescott was the Bush brother in charge of the BFEE China crew.

Prescott S. Bush Jr., brother and uncle of U.S. presidents, dies at 87


By T. Rees Shapiro
Saturday, June 26, 2010

Prescott S. Bush Jr., 87, a retired insurance executive who was the older brother of one U.S. president and an uncle of another, died June 23 at his home in Hingham, Mass. The death was confirmed by his son James, but no cause was given.

Mr. Bush was a partner in the New York insurance brokerage firm Johnson & Higgins for more than 30 years before founding a nonprofit group that promoted investment and trade with China.

<snip>
He was mired in legal trouble during the early 1990s when a Japanese business he was connected to was accused of being part of an international crime ring.

1. I'm sure Adolph will be glad to open the doors
to hell for his good buddy and benefactor Prescott.

3. This was Prescott Jr. Prescott Sr was the senator who financed Hitler.
The dangerously inbred Bush family could use a fresh name infusion.

10. Right - Prescott Jr helped Poppy and Jackson Stephens further global fascist agenda with China
supplying cheap goods for All American stores like WalMart.

The freepers and teabaggers worry about socialistic measures that help their family and neighbors, while ignoring the fascist agenda that lowers their paychecks, pollutes their waterways, sickens their children, and closes library and hospital doors to them and their neighbors.

11. Prescott helped Poppy set up China as the main supplier of WalMart and big box stores

Poppy Bush and Jackson Stephens really put the fascist agenda on the express track in the late 70s and bringing Chinese industrialists into the mix assured that America's labor force would turn to a 'service' class. Poppy had Prescott in China for many years keeping the tracks greased. He headed the China-US Chamber of Commerce.

And freepers think some of their sick neighbors getting access to healthcare will ruin this nation. Sheesh.

8. They say don't speak ill of the dead, so I won't
because I have nothing that isn't 'ill' to say about this 'person'.

14. Staying on the down low helped enormously while he sold out our economic future to Chinese cronies
to help further BushInc's global fascist agenda.
