... while his dad was President.
Yes it's the Mirror, but the book's out next week. (http://www.mirror.co.uk/news/allnews/tm_objectid=14609301&method=full&siteid=50143&headline=bush--took-cocaine-at-camp-david--name_page.html)
The issue really what Dubya did in 1989-92 (though it is deliciously interesting to hear), it's that he lied about it in '00 when he said that he hadn't done any drugs or alcohol in 25 years.
Let the GOP assassination of Kitty Kelley's reputation begin. Whatever you can throw at her can't be as bad as the backlash she got after ripping apart Sinatra.

This is good news for Bush. The baseless charges in the book will backfire beautifully.

Are you saying Kitty Kelley was a Swift Boat Veteran?

I'm shocked and appalled at these baseless rumors, and I deplore their use in a campaign for the most important office in the world.
Now watch this drive.

This is the same crap that he didn't admit to (never denied) four years ago. It was swept under the carpet then, and will be again. Too bad really.

FWIW
My dad was in the Republican Round Table and the Congressional Task Force during Bush 41 time as Prez (ie: he paid tons o' cash for access to fancy DC stuff) and told me stories of Bush doing Cocaine at these parties. Well, after the events, many times a group would hang out and drink and the like. My dad was there. He saw this himself. Take it for what it's worth to you.
BTW
He doesn't like 43 but really supported 41 since the time he ran against Reagan.
I'll sign off now and wait for the black helicopters to pay me and my dad a visit. Bye. :eek:

I dunno. Call me naïve, but if John Kerry has "inhaled" which I suspect he has, this may be a non-issue.
Besides, Kerry's campaign needs to stick to how Dubya has f*(#ed up the country, not himself.

True, but points can be made if Kerry has an official and very public position on his past use.
I mean, one was in Nam and the other was as an older adult inside the extended Presidential grounds.
Now, if you have other people make the point...

Notice how the leftist liberals resort to blatant lies when their candidate sinks lower in the polls?

All work and no play...
Afterall they're only human like the rest of us. It's their job and the way they do it that's important. As soon as you start looking beyond it everything becomes a blur and elections become some sort of WWF-clone. Lots of show and talk, but nothing of it is worth anything.

This could end up being further proof that it's not the crime, it's the cover-up, that leads to the most lasting damage. And sure, let the GOP deny this to death -- deny off the record, deny publicly, sue Kelley for slander. Just do it all in the next eight weeks.
Maybe Dubya traded Sammy Sosa in '89 because he was high at the time.

Over at Steve Gilliard's blog, he's saying the book also alleges Bush played with boys. If you get my drift. Not that there's anything wrong with that.
Do I believe that? Well, there *IS* something clearly overcompensatory about his macho behavior. But I always thought that came from him competing against his dad.
I still think that, but there's an alternative explanation out there now.

Superdave - the accusations about Bush drinking and molesting young boys are all hideous slander. He was not drinking - he was sipping some "Jesus Juice". And the Michael Jackson CD was uh, well, hmmm, uh...
Hey, look over there!

So the story made the Chicago Sun-Times (http://www.suntimes.com/output/elect/cst-nws-bush071.html) and the Boston Herald (http://news.bostonherald.com/election/view.bg?articleid=43105) this morning. And interestingly, Drudge links to the original Mirror story on his page -- has he turned against Dear Leader?
Note to BushCo: PLEASE go on the record denying that any of this ever happened. Please, please, please.
The gloves are off, children. I see this as just proof that whatever Karl Rove sowed, he's going to have to reap. Somewhere right now McCain is laughing his ass off with his illegitimate black child at his side.

These issues, and all of the Vietnam stuff, are not about cocaine or attendance at NG drills. They are about credibility and truthfulness. If he can lie to us about his drug use or his NG service, he can lie about WMD.
In another thread, I talked about Bush getting a free pass on this stuff from the press. Here is your proof:
Bush has admitted being an alcoholic but, asked during the 1999 election if he did drugs, he said: "I've told the American people that years ago I made some mistakes.
"I've learned from my mistakes and should I be fortunate enough to become president I will bring dignity and honour to the office."
Later an aide clarified his remarks saying Bush hadn't taken illegal drugs in the past 25 years.
Drug questions should just be on a questionairre for candidates for national office as it always comes up right away, and candidates are prepared to answer the questions right away.
What is this?
I am not a journalist, but I can think of a few follow up questions to these pathetic responses from the Bush campaign.
;)
Since Busheep love comparing Bush to Clinton at every opportunity, perhaps you will recall Clinton's slick -- yet truthful -- initial answer that he never violated the drug laws of the United States. The press didn't let him get away with that answer and kept pressing until he admitted violating the laws of England. :D
That, of course, led to the famous "inhale" quote.
Btw, I love the classmate coming forward saying that poor Georgie couldn't put the moves on in college unless he was loaded. THAT is priceless.

OOPS!!!
I didn't mean boys as in children, I meant boys as in, not girls. The allegation is that Bush is bi.
My mistake.

Because everything has to be storyfied, right?
PS - I'm so glad we're talking about this instead of policy. Not.

Don't worry. Karl Rove, with the help of the Liberal Media, will be able to make this whole thing look like the intellectual elite picking on the retard everyone feels sorry for.
