Book: Bush once snorted cocaine at Camp David

By Jennifer Rosinski

Tuesday, September 7, 2004


Shocking accusations that President Bush snorted cocaine at Camp David when his father was in the White House have surfaced in a racy new book by celeb author Kitty Kelley about the powerful family.

     ``Bush did coke at Camp David when his father was president, and not just once either,'' Kelley quotes former sister-in-law Sharon Bush as saying, according The Daily Mirror of London.

     The president first dabbled in drugs in the mid-1960s while at Yale and later snorted cocaine or smoked marijuana while in the National Guard, according to Kelley's new biography, ``The Family: The Real Story of the Bush Dynasty.''

     The book, to be released later this month, also alleged first lady Laura Bush smoked pot in her youth.

2. Dabbled in drugs in the mid-1960s?
From what we hear, shrub did a lot more than dabble in drugs.

8. And for all of those people who were worried about so many of us
on this board who thought this was a good thing. See, it's just EXACTLY like so many of us said. The media doesn't give a damn that bush*'s ignorance and greed have killed one thousand American service people in Iraq, but let a book come out that details all the dirt on the bush* family, and here we go.

Let me repeat for some of you before you freak and start talking about 'the high ground' again, Kerry/Edwards didn't have anything to do with this book, they didn't write it, they aren't promoting it, it has nothing to do with the Democratic party. But it is the only thing drawing any attention from the media. They are reporting the 7 killed yesterday, but that's only because so many were killed at one time. If they die individually or in twos or threes, you actually have to look for any mention of them at the end of an article about something else. It always starts off: "In other news, two US personal were killed in ..."

7. Someone has to make a very important connection------
since this was done AFTER he supposedly went straight on his 40th b-day, is he still doing these things. Most importantly, is this why he has left the White House every goddamn weekend since he's been president?? Does he leave in order to have his "pleasures" away from the public eye. THAT is the story that is very, very relevant to right here and now.
