The article I responded to was 7 months old and didn't even mention Noelle Bush. FYI, those numbers at the top after the letters "J-u-n-e" refer to a day and a year.

...Big news, right? Maybe if you're a Bush. But when the last name is Clinton - as it was when when the ex-president's brother, Roger, checked himself into Arizona's Cottonwood de Tuscon drug rehab clinic in July - the media feeding frenzy never quite materializes. In fact, despite Roger's admission to doctors that he was battling a "frightening" eight-year cocaine habit - along with Clinton attorney Mark Geragos' tacit confirmation of the news - only two mainstream sources bothered to even mention the story. "Geragos isn't disputing a report in this week's National Enquirer which states that Clinton entered a $675-a-day Cottonwood de Tuscon rehab center on July 19 for a 28-day stay," reported the Los Angeles Times in August. Aside from that tiny item, plus a teaser on the Enquirer report in the New York Daily News, the fact that Roger Clinton continued his illegal drug habit throughout his brother's presidency remains unnoted by almost every other news venue. Whether the former first brother snorted coke in the Lincoln Bedroom or any other historic location during his frequent White House visits concerns Washington scribes apparently not at all. Surely that's because the Clintons no longer occupy the White House, right? Well, not exactly. Imagine if a tape recording of a Bush relative repeatedly using the "N" word was to surface today. Would Dan Rather, Tom Brokaw and Peter Jennings play it? You bet - and with glee. And you can also bet the press piranhas wouldn't stop until every member of the Bush family had angrily and publicly condemned the offending relative. So it's a good thing for Noelle Bush that it was Roger Clinton - and not she - who can be heard uttering racial slurs on a police surveillance videotape shot during his drug-dealing days. "Some junior high n----r kicked Steve's ass while he was trying to help his brothers out; junior high or sophomore in high school," Roger complained as he was snorting cocaine. "Whatever it was, Steve had the n----r down. However it was, it was Steve's fault. He had the n----r down, he let him up. The n----r blindsided him." While the above clip is old hat to NewsMax.com readers, it remains a closely guarded secret among the nation's news editors, despite the fact that for the last five years of the Clinton presidency video and audio of Roger's remarkable performance was widely available. To this day only Fox News Channel's Sean Hannity has had the nerve to play the cut on his WABC radio show and his TV show, "Hannity & Colmes." The next time the press starts hyperventilating over some Bush family faux pas, remember the media's own Roger Clinton "N" word cover-up. newsmax.com
