And wife Laura liked dope, says book GEORGE W Bush snorted cocaine at Camp David, a new book claims. His wife Laura also allegedly tried cannabis in her youth. Author Kitty Kelley says in her biography The Family: The Real Story of the Bush Dynasty, that the US President first used coke at university in the mid-1960s. She quotes his former sister-in-law Sharon Bush who claims: "Bush did coke at Camp David when his father was President, and not just once either." Other acquaintances allege that as a 26-year-old National Guard, Bush "liked to sneak out back for a joint or into the bathroom for a line of cocaine". 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. Kelley says that the Bush family covered up scandals because of their wealth and influence. She claims George W started drinking at school and continued at Yale university to overcome shyness. Former student Torbery George says in the book: "Poor Georgie. He couldn't relate to women unless he was loaded." Another says: "He went out of his way to act crude. It's amazing someone you held in such low esteem later became president." His supporters have slammed the allegations as outrageous. The White House said: "This book appears to be filled with the same trash discredited years ago." -BILL Clinton has joked he will try to be happy about his heart bypass operation. The ex-president said on his website: "This sure isn't how we planned to spend Labor Day weekend but we're doing our best to enjoy it."BUSH 'TOOK COCAINE AT CAMP DAVID'
A DNA test proved the baby was fathered by the woman's husband.
We get an idea of just how venal Sharon Bush is and ought not forget it. Also explains why she's been divorced.
If I'm not mistaken, Sharon Bush was shown to have falsely accused her ex-husband Neil of fathering a child out of wedlock.
This has nothing to do with the 2004 election. This is an indication of what the next four years will be like. Having conceded the election to Bush, their goal will be to make sure that by the time his second term is over his reputation will be trashed.
This book will have no significance whatsoever. It might get a day or two of coverage and then dropped like a hot brick.
W's campaign is ready for this.
I would like to offer a talking point/rebuttal. Everyone has things in their past they are ashamed of. The difference is President Bush learns from his experiences and mistakes. John Kerry doesn't. He has never admitted to or apologized for anything in his past. Who would you prefer to lead our nation someone who can grow and mature or someone who still reacts to things as a juvenile?
Aren't they mainly for the free use of drugs? I'll admit, in my youth I did illegal drugs. Millions did. It's not something we wear like a badge of honor. We grew up. We matured. We reconciled ourselves with adult ways.
In any event, only the most partisan and anal retentive will give any such charges the slightest bit of weight or dignity. It's either desperate lies and innuendo to try and derail the Bush campaign, or it's a final shot to the collective brain stem of the Kerry campaign.
Pick one.
Apparently you are correct. See #21 above.
"His wife Laura also allegedly tried cannabis in her youth."
Oh, noes! Quick, Laura! Say you didn't inhale and all will be forgiven!!!!!
APf
Can't the Bush family sue her for libel?
AOL news is leading with missing Bush military records. The press is just beginning to fight, people.
That's the final straw, I'm voting for Kerry. President Bush is a monster and must be stopped. Who knew?
DUers are drooling waiting for this book to come out. This is not even half the stuff that Kitty Kelly says in the book. She literally trashes everyone in the family. She is a disgusting person who will take any sick kind of Rumor the Bush haters can dream up and put it in a book. Some of the lies are really horrendous. This lady needs to be freeped whereever and whenever she appears in public. She is a disgusting liar!
Been there, done that.
Another says: "He went out of his way to act crude. It's amazing someone you held in such low esteem later became president."
If this were true, you'd have heard it from many sources the first time Bush ran for President in 2000.
This is clearly a load of cr@p and it reeks of desperation.
I can identify with someone who has lived that line in "Amazing Grace," "Was blind, but now I see," and I like the fact that he's the same man on Saturday night that he is on Sunday morning. -- Zell Miller, RNC Convention
