Customer Reviews

Corruption, Greed, Power & Presidential ties!!!

This book was great!!! The author told a very thorough story about how individuals as well as respected professions contributed to the Silverado S & L / Real Estate scandal from Michael Wise, Neil Bush ( & subsequently his father's political weight), Kermit Mowbray, Coopers & Lybrand, Bill Walters, former commidities trader Kenneth Good, to Larry Mizel of MDC Homes and the countless politicians he & his company's subcontractors funded to pave the way for one of the most notorious financial scandals produced from the great Republican deregulation era. Conversely, the real estate appraisal industry picked up a regulatory big brother, but they weren't alone in 3rd party contributory damage...let's not forget the consultants, accountants, and Federal regulators...and have I mentioned 'countless politicians...elephants as well as asses?' This story isn't about Neil Bush bashing, although it easily could've been considering how naive the author thinks of him. Perhaps Neil really is that simple or maybe the Bush men just make great puppets!(Wise, the Saudis, Rove ;-)...Regardless who was behind the Wizard's curtain when the Feds were instructed to wait until after daddy Bush's election...Neil rode his family name to gain social access, financial favors, and eventually, a protective shield. Exercise your own judgment...its an easy read, very entertaining & well worth the change plus shipping & handling :-)

A review of the review (I don't know how I like the book)

From the looks of the review attached to this book anyone who writes a review will be the first person to review the book. This is a nutty review, this "Kirkus" review. Is this actually the only book available on this Neil Bush ripoff. If it is I'll be hard put to find reviews of the other Bush boys' gun running and assorted illegal activities.
