don't hold that against me though. and i'm completely forthcoming and honest about it, unlike dubya. sure, i snorted cocaine, and smoked pot, and drank like a fish, and a lot of other wild and crazy shit too, and i openly admit it. and i know a hell of a lot of other people my age who also had wild youths. some are ashamed to admit it, others are not. i'm not.
so if someone wanted to investigate my past, they'd find a few wild tales of hedonism and debauchery, some of which i'd rather forget. but, it all happened and that was then and this is now.
i was even arrested a few times for various things. i admit it. i was young and crazy as hell. but when dubya was running for president, he said that it just ain't right to dig up someone's youthful indiscretions and use it against them in a political context. even though that's exactly what bushkkko is doing to John Kerry. not about drug use, but about vietnam and his military history. a subject that dubya DOES NOT want to talk about.
so if he had any sense, which he don't, he'd be honest about his past. but dubya has taken every opportunity to expunge his past, even to the extreme of getting a new drivers license number and I.D., with all past indiscretions erased. his whole wreckless youth is erased from the memory hole. his EXCESSIVE cocaine use, and excessive boozing and carousing. his arrest for cocaine, his AWOL/Deserter status, his missing year, his missing medical records, etc.
his whole life is one big cover up and fantasy. re-spun, re-told, recycled into a huge lie. his wasted youth and middle age. his lack of focus or goals. his drunken obnoxious rude behavior. all forgotten, all forgiven, all washed clean by professional liars and associates of daddy.
if i were ever to run for public office, which i never will, i'd be completely open and honest about my crazy days in the 70's. 'sure, i did what a lot of my fellow wreckless youths did, and i don't deny it'. i was even honest to my three kids about it. some parents i know also lie about their pasts, but i don't. i used my example as a lesson to my kids and i told them ALL about drugs and the dangers that go with them. they had no illusions about cocaine, meth, crack, weed, and booze. and they are all well adjusted adults now, who never had drug problems or criminal records.
the differences between me and dubya: i only used cocaine occasionally, and never messed with large amounts or became addicted. i never sold it, or smuggled it in large quantities. i never had a 'problem' with it. and i didn't have a team of my daddy's friends to keep me out of trouble and off the police files.
my past is an open book, the shameful parts and all. i'm man enough to admit it.
that 70's Mo
