Has Bush ever denied using Cocaine?

[MyUncle]

I've never seen that. Just that he made mistakes when he was younger.

1. He never has to deny anything.

He just tells the media to shut up. And they do.

2. Not that I'm aware of

I think it's one of the FEW things he's actually been honest about.

3. I do not think he has ever denied this

It came up in 2000 and all his handlers said was that he had admitted to "youthful indiscretions". Of course, he has admitted to being a dunk until his youth apparently finally ended on his 40th birthday.

4. He just denied using drugs in the last twenty-five years (in 1999).

He even did that in a roundabout way.

5. So, the National Enquirer and Kitty might be telling the truth?

How bizarre is that? CBS shot full of holes and in the Inquirer we trust. What planet are we on?

6. the media whores haven't bothered to ask

i'm tellin' ya - a credible coke story would kill him. that's why the awol story is so important, because it's the pathway to bush's lost years. that is also why rove is pulling out all the stops to derail any inquiry into this area.

7. No, but he denied committing adultery, even though

no one had asked about adultery. . . :eyes:

Actually, I think what he said was he had been faithful to his wife, or perhaps to the promises he made his wife, something with a little possible wiggle room. I don't think it was as clearcut as "I have never committed adultery."

8. How do we know it's just cocaine with Bush?

If he led a wild frat boy lifestyle, how do we know he didn't use or at least try such things as crank, PCP, Darvon, ludes, valium, reds, and smack in addition to cocaine and grass?

9. no

he said he was young and irresponsible

(until he was in his 40's) LOL
