Bush: Why I won't admit trying dope
"The implied admission that the president used marijuana comes in a series of tape-recorded conversations between the future president and Doug Wead, an author and aide to the first president Bush, published on the eve of his fence-mending trip to Europe."

(I particularly liked: ""I got to tell you two things right off the bat," he says he told one prominent evangelical minister. "One, I'm not going to kick gays, because I'm a sinner. How can I differentiate sin?")

1. Maybe that's what he was getting at when...
he claimed that Jesus was his favorite political philosopher.

3. No problem with the children.
If they can show that they were under thirty years of age at the time, they're home FREE.

7. He is pulling a Jason Giambi.
It disgusts me. Refuse to admit your mistakes so you can continue to make lots of them...

11. This does prove one thing.
He realizes that what the American taliban does to gays is kick them.

Who Would Jesus Kick?
