Soccer legend Pele admits: that his 35 year old son Edihno was one of roughly 50 people recently arrested in Sao Paulo under suspicion of ties with a cocaine trafficking gang. The Hindustan Times also reports that this particular gang is suspected of involvement with the kidnapping of the mother of Brazilian superstar Robhino. As a followup to the thread, Robhino's mother was freed late in December after a ransom of some $200,000 was paid.

I don't see where Bush's daughters have been involved in drugs or trafficking! Nice dig but it was completely stupid. If you don't like Bush, you at least can come up with a relevant fact and not some empty lie. Then again, CBS and John Kerry love making up lies.

Well, I see ignorance rears its head once again. There wasn't a word said about his daughters..couple of drunken party girls that they are. You never heard of Bubbya sneaking around to do coke while he was in the Guard or at Camp David while his father was preseident? Who opened that idiot gate again?

maybe you ought to learn to read between the lines Tex, as well as STRETCH your powers of observation because you MISSED it by a country mile boy. Calling someone an idiot only makes you look like a bigger one. Everyone agree? Memo to Tex: we were talking about the offspring of a famous person..that is what the story, hence the reference I made. otherwie, it is aplles and oranges. Seems like people online really are naive and need a place to vent because in real life, people would just walk away from suck ignorance.

Is this a Sports topic or a political topic? It's a nice reference to the longing for the bush daughter to be charged with drug affiliation, but seriously, stop the hating. Who really cares if some sports stars kid is a bad egg? As long as it's not the star messing up it is all ok.

Gee whiz, instant karma, I thought Bubbya WAS an offspring of a famous person. My bad. I'm sure now all your "friends" will begin piling on. I only hope and pray I can handle the onslaught. NEXT!

dfleming: That's self-magnifying recursiveness. A growing loop. An act of unconscious genius. I can die happy now that I've seen that.

I thought this was about Pele's son? I dont get on how all of the Bush bashing relates to the original story.
posted by daddisamm at 02:21 PM on June 08, 2005
Edinho is Bush's rumored love child, fathered while he was involved in some Brazilian baseball and oil deals. That would explain a lot.
posted by worldcup2002 at 03:26 PM on June 08, 2005
I thought Bush and Edinho were both products of Ted Kennedy's summer of love. Maybe not...

Sorry about trainwrecking your post, Ufez. I was just making reference to other spoiled chilin' and it turned into...well...that picture.

I would want to hear the whole story before laying into Edinho, but it would appear a son of privilege would have better things to do with his time than to get involved with the seedier side of life. Hmmm...tell that to the Kennedys. Or Bush's.
