Bush's father was nicknamed "Magog," which "is traditionally assigned to the incoming Bonesman deemed to have had the most sexual experience" (Grove, "Reliable Source," Washington Post, 4/18) ===== 2 of 11 results Previous Story | Next Story | Back to Results List 02-29-2000 PEOPLE - BUSH: MOVIE TELLS TALE OF DUBYA'S CLUB Chicago Tribune's Warren/Armour report that a new movie may give the public an insight into a particular presidential candidate's youthful indiscretions. "As if George W. Bush wasn't getting enough trouble from John McCain, here comes a movie called 'The Skulls,' which demonizes a secret society at Yale University." The movie paints a dark and nasty picture of the elite club that both George W. Bush and Pres. Bush belonged to as undergraduates at Yale. "George the Younger already is trying to cast off suggestions that he's just another blue blood advancing through life on his father's name and his family's connections. So it can't help that Universal Studios soon plans to release a film in which a Skull and Bones-like club comes off as a corrupt, murdering cabal" (2/29). ===== "BIOGRAPHY" FEATURE A&E's "Biography" featured a George W. Bush "Biography" last night. Excerpts follow. A&E's Harry Smith, on Bush's Yale days: "Like his father, he joined the secret Skull and Bones Society, and Delta Kappa Epsilon fraternity, where he became the president. The fraternity had a reputation. In Bush's senior year, it was fined for its hazing practices, including branding the fraternity's name on the backs of pledges. ... Besides partying, George was also engaged to be married, briefly, in his junior year." ===== 04-24-1992 WHITE HOUSE '92 - BUSH: GLOBAL ENVIRO-COP CRITICISM W.S. JOURNAL's Paul Gigot: "Don't believe the spin" that Bush is "reluctant" to go to Rio. "The truth is, he can't wait to go. Which is the problem. Rio is just the sort of jaunt" Bush loves. "It's more fun even than Kennebunkport. His telephone chums, perhaps 100 world leaders, will all be there. He'd once again be chief poobah of Global Skull & Bones." GOPers also "fret" if Bush doesn't go, Clinton will. "They should buy him the ticket. ===== Buchanan, on ABC's "Brinkley": "George needs Ronald Reagan to win in [NH] ... the ex-presidents' club is as exclusive a club as Skull and Bones ... Reagan could do nothing else when requested but endorse George Bush ... Both [Nixon and Reagan] are going to endorse George Bush -- they've got to. ... But ... I'll bet if you asked Ronald Reagan privately what he thought of George Bush's tax hikes [and] spending [and] cave-in on the quota bill -- privately he would give you what he thought, and I think he might agree with Pat Buchanan" (2/9). ===== 01-13-1992 WHITE HOUSE '92 - BUCHANAN: LABELS BUSH TRIP A "FIASCO" Appearing on NBC's "Meet the Press," Buchanan called Bush's trip to Japan "a fiasco. I think the president did not even realize the lowered expectations of his own staff. But it was good in this sense. Mr. Bush has been talking about this global new world order as though it's Skull and Bones International, and he got a reality check in Tokyo." On health care: "I said I would start to address it this week in specifics up at the AARP convention." Admitting he did not have a health plan now, he added, "We don't want what the British have where they wait six months for major surgery, and sometimes it never quite arrives in time. We don't want what the Canadians have." On a balanced budget: "No, not in the first year. You've got a $400B deficit ... You're going to have to cut tax rates some of which initially is going to result in a temporary increase in ..." ===== 09-20-1991 WHITE HOUSE '92 - MCCURDY: EXPLORATORY TOUR STOPS OFF IN TN He was in Nashville 9/19 -- the second day of his tour "to gauge his chances for a presidential candidacy" -- and will soon visit FL, CA, LA, AL ,and IL (Richard Locker, Memphis COMMERCIAL APPEAL). McCurdy, who is being led around by "moderate Democratic congressmen who he said asked him to make the race," was escorted by Rep. Jim Cooper (D-TN) and "struck themes ranging from populist to centrist to conservative." He "said Democrats need to return to the American mainstream and traditional values like family, individual responsibility and hard work to win the White House." He contrasted himself to Bush: "While George Bush was a student at Yale, the son of a millionaire and a senator, and belonged to an exclusive club, Skull and Bones, I was a student at the University of Oklahoma and a member of the Teamsters. I drove a truck to work my way through school. I worked in a flour mill loading flour sacks into a boxcar. I've pumped gas. I've sacked groceries. I've done the things that most ordinary Americans do in order to succeed." When asked to contrast himself with Clinton and Wilder, "he made it clear that he believes a credible Democratic candidate must have foreign policy experience": "My strengths are obvious in the areas I've worked on in Congress, including foreign policy and defense. If we present candidates again who are so weak on defense and foreign policy, we will never be able to engage the President in debate on important national issues" (9/20). ===== 12/19/88 NATIONAL ECONOMIC COMMISSION: "In a move that heightens prospects for a compromise on reducing the budget deficit, President-elect George Bush has tentatively decided to name Oklahoma Gov. Henry Bellmon (R) and former representative Thomas L. Ashley (D-Ohio) to the high level commission studying the budget problem, according to transition sources." The selection was first reported by AP. Both are described as "pragmatists." Bellmon "is certainly not a 'read my lips' kind of guy" according to one GOP budget expert. Ashley was a Yale classmate of Bush and a member of Skull and Bones society. Transition source: Ashley "is a Democrat with a personal loyalty to George Bush. He has no political agenda, doesn't need money, and won't run for office" (Blustein, WASH. POST, 12/18). "Mr. Ashley's selection was said to be assured. But Richard Rahn, chief economist at the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, could be chosen instead of Mr. Bellmon, sources said. Mr. Rahn, who advised Mr. Bush in the campaign, is a firm opponent of a tax increase and his selection likely would make it more difficult to muster a convincing number of commission members behind a deficit reduction plan involving new taxes" (Nordlinger, Baltimore SUN, 12/18). W.S. JOURNAL's Murray reports that Bush would like to be rid of the commission, but "the Bush team worries that any effort to scuttle the panel could have serious repercussions on the financial markets ..." Commission member Drew Lewis says that if the commission sticks to its current deadline of March 1, it will split along party lines. "Eager to avoid such a partisan showdown, Mr. Lewis and some other GOP commission members are asking that the panel's reporting date be delayed until September" (12/19). ===== 09-26-1988 APN FIFTY STATE REPORT - AZ (7) An Apache leader charges that Bush's father led Skull and Bones "grave robbers" who "took Geronimo's skull so he could hang it on the clubhouse wall" at Yale; the Apache warns of "the Geronimo issue" and urges a congressional probe of "the Geronimo issue" (ARIZONA REPUBLIC, 9/26). Americans for Bush has flooded AZ with letters seeking donations; AZ Bush chairwoman Hance urges AZ Republicans not to contribute to the group (REPUBLIC, 9/24). The Hotline ===== 8-10-1988 CAMPAIGN REPORTS - REPORT FROM THE DEMOCRATIC NATIONAL COMMITTEE IN EGYPT, THEY SIT THERE GEORGE BUSH LIKE. Whatever on earth was George thinking when he talked about sitting there "like a sphinx" during a discussion of his choice for running mate? OK, we'll skip the obvious question -- as in, "Isn't that what he's been doing all along?" Maybe all of the POST's reporting on Skull and Bones summoned up some ancient Greek image of the winged monster with the head of a woman and body of a lion who destroyed all who could not answer The Riddle. Then again, maybe George was feeling enigmatic during a week when his buddies were calling him moderate while he was pandering to the right during platform discussions -- and getting a tepid response at that. But somehow the image of the family gathering at Kennebunkport, discussing weighty issues of the day, and leaving the Great Sphinx aside deserves a sequel. Maybe next week we'll see George soar Pegasus- like ... right into the eye of Hurricane Beryl.

DAILY NEWS: "Interviews with two dozen friends and relatives reveal a portrait of the private George Bush ... that is very different from the politician who often seems awkward and stilted" (8/7).
