OT: The only thing foreign is where this is leading.... Ish, you seem like you got a chip on your shoulder. Or is that a rock in yer pokkit? Re: Do you have even one slightly credible link to back up the cocaine charge? Well, if you mean the Drudge Report, we got a failure to communicate. Here's some: progress.org Lies, Damn Lies and Whoppers: Governor Bush's Cocaine Problem by Adam J. Smith First he refused to confirm or deny it. Later he would say only that "when I was young and irresponsible, I was young and irresponsible." Next he said that the issue wasn't relevant. Then he said that he wouldn't address "rumors." Then he said that he could pass a standard security check dating back seven years. Finally, he said that he could've passed the security check in his father's White House -- fifteen years. Though he had to think before specifying whether he could've passed it then or now. Now, no matter what he says, the issue seems destined to dog him until the day he comes clean. Texas Governor and Republican presidential frontrunner George W. Bush, Jr. has a cocaine problem. How many times is Dubya allowed to change his story, Ish? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ salon.com ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Look, Ish, to tell ya the truth, I couldn't care less whether Bush did or didn't engage in "youthful indiscretions". But I do agree with the Salon opinion that we have a despicable double standard in this country regarding drug use. The rich and celebrated can get away with it, with the authorities basically doing a wink and nod, while we fill our prisons with over a million poor people who are guilty of little more than trying to have a little harmless fun. Our drug policies are hypocritical, destructive and stupid. -Ray
