Lehman hires Jeb Bu$h as private equity advisor

Lehman Brother$ has hired Jeb Bu$h, brother of the President of the United States, as an advisor to its private equity business, a source familiar with the situation said.

Lehman hired another relative of U.S. President George W. Bu$h last year--George Walker, a second cousin, who heads up the bank's asset management business.

Jeb Bu$h is the former governor of Florida.
Lehman Brother$ declined to comment.

4. Always! The BFEE! Closing Prescott Bu$h's bank for trading with the enemy wasn't enough.

7. Hmm. No wonder Paulsen voted to publicly steer clear of funneling
tax $$$'s to them.

However, given the situation, I am sure that there is some back room under the table dealing going on.

These bastards are really pissing me off.

11. A word of advice for those that haven't been paying attention.
Never trust anyone with the surname of Bush or Walker. Two minutes on the internet will reveal their greed and self-serving view of the world. They might be nice people but they're too willing to screw anyone for there own benefit.
