BoingBoing posted some choice comments on Why everyone wants to invest in Neil Bush’s software company –

Barbara Bush’s donation to the Bush-Clinton Katrina Fund is going straight to Ignite!, an educational software company owned by Neil Bush, the current administration’s very own “Billy Carter/Roger Clinton” type character. (You may remember Neil as the fellow who headed Silverado Savings & Loan in the 80s. When the bank failed under his watch, he walked away with a mere sanction while taxpayers were forced to clean up his mess by forking over a $1 billion bailout.)

In his Talking Points Memo, Joshua Micah Marshall says Ignite! makes its money by jetting Neil to exotic locales, where he visits “international statesmen, bigwigs and criminals who want to ‘invest’ in Ignite! as a way to curry favor with the brother in the White House.”

It turns out that lots of people besides Barbara Bush believe in her energetic young man: the rich kids of China’s rulers, the United Arab Emirates, and Russian tycoon Boris Berezovsky (who has been accused of trying to overthrow Putin’s government to help his company) are all eager investors in Ignite!. Now, who’s to say that the individuals in this rogues’ gallery are only interested in getting the president to think kindly of them? Perhaps they truly want to help children learn.
