He doesn’t like me but his brother might

So what’s your logical next move when the leader of the free world has just humiliated you by revoking your visa and ending any chance of career advancement? Answer: Invite his brother over for…ummm dinner?? From ExpressIndia.com:

Chief Minister Narendra Modi has invited Florida Governor Jeb Bush to visit Gujarat.

Sounding more like a salesman selling Gujarat to the world, more that a wronged Chief Minister who was denied entry to the US, Narendra Modi made the invitation while addressing the members of the Asian American Hotel Owners’ Association in Fort Laurendale, Florida, from his official residence in Gandhinagar on Thursday evening.

He made it a point to avoid unneccessary controversy and mainly spoke about role expatriates in helping Gujarat flourish. Modi said his invitation to Jeb Bush, the brother of the US president, was to give him ‘‘a taste of real hospitality’’.

A tip from SM reader Santosh Daniel leads us to believe that Modi may have better luck enticing some distant cousin of Bush.

He’s young, dynamic and pleasant looking. He’s an entrepreneur who heads America’s second largest medical billing company. Qualities enough to make you sit up and take notice of Jonathan Bush. But what makes this Boston-based businessman even more of a special visitor to Hyderabad is that he’s President George Bush’s younger cousin. While here to look into setting up outsourcing offices, he exclaims, “I love the entrepreneurial spirit here. People are creative, passionate and look you in the eye when they speak. There are no wheels turning in their head.” It’s his first visit to India and he grins, “I took several pictures of me with cows on the road!”

His cousin is not aware that he is in India, as the last time he met him was at the inaugural ball. “Bush had just enough time to enquire about my children. We were much closer as kids. Now he’s this distant older brother who’s busy being President and taking care of his family,” says Jonathan. But he undoubtedly loves his President cousin — “We are a loving and supportive family… [source: Times of India]

  1. I guess he hasn’t given up on the image-rehabilitation project.

    Maybe they can expand this dinner to include all the fundamentalist demagogues in the world–Christian, Hindutva, Marxists, Maoist, Zionist, Islamist, Buddhist, etc.–and they can settle their differences Battlebot style. And then the rest of us can get a good night’s sleep for once.

    Thats what a communist wants too! Destroy all religion and sleep in peace. Rather than initiating peace, communists encourage battlebot “for” peace. How ironic!

    Wow..that’s deep ogre..

  4. i agree. a good old-fashioned fundamentalist Thunderdome.

    Truth hurts. Ask a communist if they opt for anything more than what I just said. e.g. China: Most of Buddhists shrines/temples have been destroyed in mainland china by communist leaders. Now the commies are running after Tibet.

    Freedom of religion is what is needed – not its destruction.

  5. Destroy all religion and sleep in peace

    You can’t destroy religion, it’s embedded into humans because all it is, is codified ideology…much like shazam communism

  6. Modi is probably a terrorist and accessory to murder so I’m not sorry for him at all. But on a side note…grow some balls man. First you get b’smacked, then you send invites to the b’smacker’s family. Dude is a loser on so many levels….
