Quite simply, the media did not pursue the far stronger allegations of Clinton cocaine use with the intensity shown in the case of George W. Bush. Several people have claimed that Bill Clinton used cocaine, including Gennifer Flowers, his former mistress. And, in 1984, an Arkansas police detective recorded Clinton’s brother, Roger, doing coke, and saying, "I’ve got to get some for my brother. He’s got a nose like a Hoover vacuum cleaner." Unlike in Clinton’s case, no one, to date, claims to have witnessed Bush doing coke.

Yet the first direct question about Clinton’s prior drug use didn’t occur until a television debate against former California Governor Jerry Brown. After Clinton’s denial, Brown lashed into the questioner, "Why don’t you lay off this stuff? What you did ten or twenty years ago is not really relevant."
