I have yet to see a mention of Prescott Bush, HW’s father, who was a Senator from Connecticut in the 50’s. His father as well was prominent in the Hoover Administration. The Bush family’s service in politics goes back a long way

Maureen Dowd had quite the “affair” with Poppy Bush. I like the way she writes. She talks about how in an earlier life she might have been a maid to HW. (Her grandmother, great-grandmother etc. were servants for the elites).
Maureen’s older brothers worked as pages in the Senate. Sorting mail, the one quipped “Prescott Bush - with a name like that you know that guy isn’t driving a bus.”
“Prescott Bush, HW’s father, who was a Senator from Connecticut in the 50’s.”
Others here have posted that PB didn’t have a problem Nazis. Don’t know if it’s true.
Barbara Bush was also a 4th cousin of President Franklin Pierce. Not that that means much but being related to 3 former Presidents has got to be rare.
