Smirk and Neil changed an A to an O and tried to fool us

http://www.jrnl.com/cfdocs/new/stories/pgfp0112200419.htm

Where spheres of influence are concerned, the 1990s and the 1980s combined pale in comparison with 2003, which recently thrust into the limelight Neil M. Bush, a brother of George W. Bush.
Court papers in his scandal-ridden divorce reveal that, among other business interests, Bush received a $2 million contract from a large Chinese-Taiwanese company called Grace Semiconductor Manufacturing.
The contract hires Bush as a consultant in return for $400,000 per year in company stock for five years. In his deposition, Bush disclaimed expertise in semiconductors but stated that he has traveled extensively in Asia.
(Bush, who has not responded to questions and requests for comment placed through his companies, reportedly told the AP that he has not received the payments because he has not done the consultancy work yet).
While traveling abroad, Bush reportedly is protected by the Secret Service.
Grace Semiconductor has two founders, one a son of the former president of mainland China. Bush received his contract from the other founder, a Taiwanese businessman named Winston Wong (spelled WONG, pronounced the same way).
Now let's hit the reverse button.
Back in the 1990s, the Clinton White House got into trouble when Winston Wang (spelled WANG, but pronounced ``wong"), a Taiwanese businessman, had coffee at the White House in June 1995 and allegedly followed up by promising a $100,000 contribution to the Democratic National Committee. People wondered, and rightly so what made a cup of coffee so valuable.
The White House took some appropriate heat. Holders of public office, especially the highest office should not stoop to the appearance of trading favors, even absent illegality. In consideration for the public, they should not lend themselves to the appearance of undue influence, and most people would consider $100,000 to be influence.
Now, however, it turns out that this is the same man.
Yes, that's right; in a sterling example of don't-they-ever-learn, Neil Mallon Bush (named after a founder of Dresser Industries, a Bush-connected company that became a subsidiary of Halliburton) entered into a contract with Winston Wang, the same man whose White House visit contributed to a political tempest.
Evidently the reason no one has noticed this connection is that the last name is now spelled, in most print reports, with an ``o'' instead of an ``a''.
Seldom can a vowel have been as important on Wheel of Fortune.
Winston Wang (Wong) is the son of billionaire Y. C. Wang, regarded as Taiwan's most powerful businessman, head of mega-conglomerate Formosa Plastics Company and married, in the old Chinese fashion, to three wives.

--------------------------------

spell the name different and no one will notice.

the article goes on to show the connection to Ignite by these crooks.

"the old Chinese fashion of three wives." if it's happening now it ain't old.

They're still bunching their panties over Clinton supposedly "dealing" with the Chinese. Somebody please tell them their beloved Chimp King was doing the same thing! (I refuse to give them any more post count hits....)
