Bush family tied to last year's tainted pet food

[Holly_Hobby]

Unbelieveable! Why am I not surprised?!

From an article in the Canadian press from April '07 that never saw the light of day in this country and was just brought to my attention:

...

According to its website, ChemNutra qualifies as a "Woman and Minority-owned Company", meaning that it qualifies for government funding. In other words, Chem-Nutra is attempting to secure or has already landed government funding. In a letter posted to the ChemNutra website on the weekend, company CEO Stephen S. Miller said ChemNutra had been victimized by its Chinese supplier, XuZhou Anying Biologic Technology Development Co. Ltd. and said he was "appalled" that Ontario-based Menu Foods took so long to recall the contaminated pet food.

Why haven't the Millers been called to testify at Senator Dick Durbin's Subcommittee on Agriculture, World Development, Food and Drug Administration and Related Agencies in Washington, D.C.? Stephen Miller includes E.F. Hutton & Company and Smith Barney as former employers on the ChemNutra website. Once the respected second largest brokerage firm in the United States, E.F. Hutton & Co. went down in flames. "The brokerage house was the principal component of what grew into a conglomerate of companies owned by E.F. Hutton Group Inc., listed on the NYSE." (Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia). "Other subsidiaries of that Delaware-charted holding company were E.F. Hutton Trust Company (now "Smith Barney Corporate Trust Company" and owned by Citigroup), E.F. Hutton Life Insurance Company and E.F. Hutton Bank.

"In the 1980s, the conglomerate disintegrated due to corporate misconduct, mostly by the brokerage firm. The firm had knowingly engaged in money laundering for organized crime (the so-called "Pizza Connection" because money was sometimes delivered in pizza boxes. "It was not until the president of the brokerage firm, Scott Pierce (the brother of Barbara Bush, wife of then-vice-president of the U.S.) entered his corporation's guilty plea to 2000 criminal counts of federal mail and wire fraud in 1985, that the Hutton conglomerate fell apart."

Could it be that former Hutton vice president, ChemNutra's Stephen S. Miller has FDA protection that originates from the highest office of the land?

This is just one more to add to the long long list of Bush Family Economic disasters that have been saved by government money. They are among the biggest users of government welfare in the country...but god forbid someone without food or shoes or a roof over their head gets something to help them survive....
