Mideast banks tied to the CIA would crowd alongside Florida S&Ls that once laundered money for the Nicaraguan contras. Dozens of oil wells would run eternally without finding oil, thanks to periodic cash deposits by old men wearing Reagan-Bush buttons and smoking twenty-dollar cigars. Visitors to “Prescott Bush’s Tokyo” could try to make an investment deal without falling into the clutches of the yakuza or Japanese mob.

Yardley's written a book on Fred Exley. Surely, he can't be that unimaginative?
What about the Neil Bush Tunnel of Love, where strange Thai women just come right up and have their way with you?
I once stayed in a Denver hotel across from Neil Bush's Fun House (Silverado Savings & Loan).
Sounds good. I just ordered a copy.
Search for Dick Cheney's "Undisclosed Location!"
Carry a green suitcase of cash and a bearded monster from "Saddam's Spiderhole!"
Ride the $100 Billion "Space Mountain" designed by science advisor Karl Rove!
