I don't think we are ever going to agree over Bush's cocaine use. I don't think you are using logic or looking at any of the material I cited, and I don't think there is anything to be gained by continuing that conversation, really. Would you have no respect for your leader if he had ever used cocaine, or what? The 1970's and 1980's were decades when many of our current leaders were young and did experiment with drugs. So what, really? What they contribute later is much more important. The hypocrisy is tiring, though.

I must say that one of the things that drives me crazy is when people just continue to insist on a point simply because it represents their underlying political loyalties, and the truth be dammed! It doesn't make for a very interesting debate.

I do think that Bill Clinton raped Anita Broaddick, and I am a Democrat. The evidence, particularly her television interview, seemed overwhelming to me. I have as little respect for Democrats who absolutely refused to watch the interview because they could not bear it to be true, or for the Democratic talking heads on tv who defended him and attempted to destroy her, as I do for right-wingers who maintain similar entrenched positions.
