I thought it was just Jeb and George, but did I hear correctly there is a third Bush brother who is not in politics? What’s he doing? ---

Neil Bush is the “Zeppo” of the Bush family. You may remember him best from the S&L scandals of the late 80’s / early 90’s. ---

Marvin’s a brother and there’s a sister Dorothy. There was another sister, Robin?, who died very young from leukemia. ---

There’s one more: [Marvin Bush](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marvin_Bush), the youngest of the Bush brothers. He went into business rather than politics and is probably best-known for being a director of Securacom (from 1993 to FY 2000), a company that provided security to the WTC and Dulles International Airport as of 9/11/2001. There has been some criticism levelled at the Bushes for not bringing security at the WTC under closer scrutiny after the attacks, though some might say that no amount of security could have made a substantial difference and that any large security company might be expected to have been involved in one of the 9/11 sites. Bush critics also often point out that Securacom was backed by an investment firm called the Kuwait-American Corporation, which has ties to the Kuwaiti royal family. (The most common defense to this is that any large company would be expected to have some ties to Middle Eastern investors.) The last Bush sibling is Dorothy, George W.'s sister. She is currently married to Bobby Koch, a member of the Koch family which owns a $35-billion-a-year resources company. He is a member of the **Democratic party**. ---

Nothing to add here, except that I’m still trying to figure out how many **Wayans** brothers there are. ---

Huh? Do security guards have some sort of teleportation ability that I’ve never heard of? What were guards at the World Trade Center supposed to have done to prevent the disaster? :dubious: ---

If the Wayans and Bush families joined forces, they could start their own country. They would need to trade roles however. Let the Wayans run the counrtry and the Bushes provide the comedy. Both seem better suited that way.😃 ---
