A friend of the daughter of Vice President Joseph Biden is attempting to hawk a videotape that he claims shows Ashley Biden snorting cocaine at a house party this month in Delaware.
An anonymous male "friend" of Biden took the video, said Thomas Dunlap, a lawyer representing the seller. Dunlap and another man claiming to be a lawyer showed The Post about 90 seconds of 43-minute tape, saying it was legally obtained and that Biden was aware she was being filmed. The Post refused to pay for the video.

The MSM would jump on this is it was Sarah’s daughter - but the daughter of a dem? Nah, she gets a pass.
From the Tribune, Aug. 4, 2002:
The daughter of Democratic Sen. Joseph Biden of Delaware was arrested early Saturday morning in Chicago after two people she was with allegedly attacked a police officer.
Ashley Biden, 21, was in the West Division Street nightlife district about 1:15 a.m. when a friend, John Kaulentis, 24, of Deerfield, threw a soft-drink can at a police officer who had told him to stay behind a barricade set up to keep clubgoers off the street, said police spokesman Thomas Donegan.When the officer tried to take Kaulentis into custody, Kelly Donohoe, 21, of Lake Forest, allegedly jumped on the officer’s back, striking him in the mouth with her fist, Donegan said.
When a second officer approached to assist, Biden “verbally intimidated him” and was also arrested, Donegan said. Biden, a student at Tulane University in New Orleans, was charged with obstructing a police officer. She was in Chicago visiting family.
Kaulentis was charged with battery and resisting an officer, and Donohoe was charged with battery and obstructing and resisting a police officer. All three were released on their own recognizance.
And from the Tribune, Oct. 30, 2002:
The daughter of a U.S. senator and two of her friends were cleared Tuesday of criminal charges stemming from a fracas with Chicago police after they apologized to the officers.
Obstruction charges were dropped against Ashley Biden, 21, a college student in New Orleans and the daughter of Sen. Joseph Biden (D-Del.), officials said. Battery charges were dropped against John Kaulentis, 24, of Deerfield, and Kelly Donohoe, 21, of Lake Forest, according to the Cook County state’s attorney’s office.The three were arrested after an August incident outside a nightclub on West Division Street. Jerry Lawrence, a spokesman for the state’s attorney’s office, said the case was dropped in exchange for a public apology in Misdemeanor Court.

But Cocaine smuggled through Mexico from a drug lord who kills 10,000 people each year .... no big deal.
This is something “the American people understand and forgive”, to paraphrase from GA Jimmuh.
Hey, I thought it was funny! I also thought the cat with the pink pony was funny! LOL!
Who cares? Is this really a shock that rich peoples kids do coke? There are more important things in the world to worry about .
Wake up. She’s been an adult for almost 10 years who will be handed a congressional seat in a few short years because of her name. She’s royalty.
Skimmed a bunch of posts and nobody has said the obvious: Who cares, leave her alone.
Obama has admitted to doing cocaine. It is in his book. Of course after years of running with the unsubstantiated allegation of Bush’s cocaine use, the media didn’t see fit to discuss Obama’s own admission to “doing blow”.
If her name was Palin this would be all over TV news and on the NYT front page.
But it’s just the VP’s daughter. The one arrested for throwing beer bottles at the Chicago police. Oh, that’s right, you don’t know about that. It was covered up too.
What pink pony ?
Good freaking grief...you can;t be that dense! Hillary just SLAMMED the entire US about our INSATIABLE DRUG HABIT and what horror it’s causing in Mexico!! Man, you are embarrassing yourself......of COURSE it’s political....Hillary was talking about people like ASHLEY BIDEN!
no kidding.

Obviously he needs to quit his job to become a full time dad and pay more attention to his children.
Sorry. I don’t like this one bit. We didn’t like the accusations against the Palins, we shouldn’t revel in this. The guy shopping the tape, who even hired a lawyer, should have his ass kicked..
Are you a moron? The WOMAN is 26 YEARS OLD. In the picture, she's handing out an OBAMA campaign bag. Why don't you do a little RESEARCH and READING before YOU start calling people names.
The difference is that Biden's "child" committed a crime.
Will this get even a portion of the publicity that Michael Phelps smoking some weed (which is far, far less serious) got?
It may be distasteful, but it's politically effective. That's why the left has been doing it to the right for 30 years.
I don't know about you, but I'm tired of losing elections. And what I've seen in my adult life, is that the party that takes the high, moral road seems to lose with great frequency.
Biden's kid isn't a kid. She a 26 year-old STATE employee who just allegedly committed a felony. It's news worthy and its germane to contemporary political issues and therefore it's fair game.
