Bushies Pining for Paraguay? Lugo Paraguay's Hugo?

Neil Bush whose only accomplishment thus far in life is to have sired Lauren Bush (yummy) was in Paraguay. I don't know Neil, but hate W as much as you want Neil is the Bush most likely to be kept in a basement and from public view. As some may recall he was involved in a little S&L scandal a ways back. He also made a pretty quick buck on a stock sale under less than ethical circumstances and is somehow connected to former Red China leader Jiang Zemin. His presence in Paraguay was sponsored by the Moonie outfit, Universal Peace Federation. I hate to knock the Moonies since I love WashTimes and was a subscriber of two defunct Moonie pubs Insight and The World & I but they do attract unsavory elements. Hat tip The Latin Americanist.

I should also note that Paraguay and it's undefeated ruling party, Colorado, is the topic of a great piece on OpenDemocracy. Hugo wannabe Lugo is apparently set to end the Colorado winning streak.
