The New Hampsire Gazette is running a story claiming that the Bush family had Nazi party links. The evidence for this is that George W. Bush's grandfather, Prescott Bush, had business dealings in Germany with a leading German banker who was a Hitler supporter. How did this happen? Bush's grandfather married someone whose rich father had business dealings with the banker, and Prescott was made a partner in his father-in-law's business.
The author expresses astonishment that the media has not thought this a huge story. Well, lad, here is why: "Blood washes out dishonor," as Alexandre Dumas wrote. In the Second World War, George W. Bush's father, George H. W. Bush, flew 58 combat missions and won the Distinguished Flying Cross. World War II cannot be a source of shame for a family who offered their son to America's defense. Neither can one claim that the family lacked the proper hate of tyrants, when that son fought with such heroism and power.
