Default RE: Bush- the POT smoker...

What is it some sort of shock that dubya may have smoked pot when he was young? I certainly didn't tell my children of indiscretions when younger. They didn't need to know and to be honest it wasn't any of their business.

Anything you want to admit to?

If clinton had handled this like dubya I would have been fine with it. Not "inhaling" tells a little more about his character than standing on a principal and possibly taking political heat for it. I had a lot more issues with clinton's poicies than his personal stuff. Gotcha politics is a very disruptive situation in our politic right now. I believe there are many good people who say to heck with it as someone will find out some personal item and they will be outed. Unfortunate.

Althgough his personal stuff (kathleen Wiley, paula jones, gennifer flowers, bj's in the oval office, lying under oath, attempted character assasination of an intern, obstruction of justice, sexual harrassement OF that intern ) all seemed to be stuff to me while IN office (either as governor or president), not 30 years before when in college and pretty directly is a reflection of his character.

I guess you can try to equate the two men and their indiscretions but I cannot. Not unexpected of course. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]
