PRESIDENT Bush's brother Neil cheated on his ex-wife, Sharon, with local women he met during business trips to the Far East, according to a videotaped deposition conducted by Sharon's lawyers.
"I had had sexual intercourse with perhaps three or four - I don't remember the exact number - women at different times," Neil Bush said during his just-leaked deposition. It was videotaped last March as part of the couple's divorce proceeding.
He said the trysts happened while he was in Southeast Asia several years ago. "In Thailand once, I have a pretty clear recollection that there was one time in Thailand and in Hong Kong," Bush said. "And you were married to Mrs. Bush?" a lawyer asked. "Yes," he replied.
"Our marriage has been broken," Bush continued. "It's loveless. And there's nothing left to it. And there hasn't been for a long, long time." The couple have three children, stunning Tommy Hilfiger model Lauren Bush, star of many ad campaigns and magazine shoots; daughter Ashley, 14; and son Pierce, 16.
News of the dishy deposition comes as Sharon seeks to reopen her bitter divorce battle against Neil. A Houston judge on Thursday denied her request for a new trial, upholding the settlement the Bushes agreed to in April.
"I was totally devastated, and so were our children upon learning this," Sharon told PAGE SIX about Neil's admission of cheating. "I trusted him while he was on all those foreign trips and kept the home fires burning while raising three great children . . . His behavior has been appalling. Where are the family values?"
Neil Bush's lawyer, Richard Flowers Jr., declined to comment.
Sharon charges that Neil, who filed for divorce after falling for Maria Andrews, whom he met years ago when she worked for a Barbara Bush foundation, has put the family's Houston home on the market and refuses to sell it to her.
Of her change of heart regarding the divorce settlement, Sharon says: "I was in a total state of shock over the breakup of our marriage and our family when I signed the 'take it or leave it' agreement and now realize a lot of things need to be clarified.
"I'm still trying to save the house. As per the agreement, I have a right to buy the house, but they are trying to prevent me from buying it and allowing the children and me to stay in the home we have stayed in for 10 years."
| How about the new highway named for Clinton in his home stste of Arkansas? It's a little crooked, and has a long yellow streak down the center. Be careful if you drive on it, it's a little slick. Manufacturers announced today that they will be stocking America's shelves this week with "Clinton Soup, to honor one of the nation's most distingushed men". It consists primariy of a weenie in hot water. |

At different times? Boring!
What happened to settling this stuff privately?
I smell a RAT in this story, possibly the usual suspect: the weasel RAT Chris Lehane, of the Bob Kerry campaign. The same weasel RAT that leaked the DUI story to his sister in Boston about GWB three days before the 2000 election. If this is Lehane again, I hope someone finds him in a dark alley somewhere and gives him a good beating.
Something about that phrase doesn't ring true.
"Three or four" would seem memorable, whereas "thirty or forty" might not.
Nah, this was leaked by the ex-wife, Sharon, as a vindictive attempt to force Neil back to the bargaining table. She may have even more salacious details that she is holding back as part of the threat.
