The John F. Kerry for President campaign and Kerry supporters took aim at First Lady Laura Bush today, claiming in a new book by Kitty Kelly that Laura Bush both sold and smoked marijuana during her days at Southern Methodist University in Dallas, Texas. This explosive new allegation signals a new strategy by Kerry supporters to target not only President Bush with charges of drug use in his past, but the First Lady as well.
A newly coordinated strategy by the The Kerry camp will begin this week with week-long media appearances by Kitty Kelly (author of "The Family: The Real Story of the Bush Dynasty," which makes these shocking charges) and Kerry Campaign Vice-Chairman and former Democratic Leiutenant Governor of Texas Ben Barnes. Barnes will charge that he used his influence as Speaker of the Texas House to uncharacteristically get known political opponent and long-time Republican George H.W. Bush's son a job with the Texas National Guard in order to avoid serving in Vietnam.
Another phase of the Kerry strategy involves a relatively new pro-Kerry 527 group called "Texans for Truth" which plans to launch an ad this week in which a lieutenant colonel in the Alabama Air National Guard questions Bush's absence from his National Guard service in Montgomery, Ala. The group says it plans to spend about $100,000 to run the ad.
The ad asks "Was George W. Bush AWOL in Alabama?" and implores: "Tell us whom you served with Mr. President."
This new and well-coordinate Democratic effort to resurrect charges made several times in the past four years signals a U-turn in the Kerry campaign, going back to charges made during the Democratic Convention by DNC Chairman Terry McAuliffe that President Bush was "AWOL" during his Texas Guard service, an allegedly treasonous act. Criticized by fellow Democrats for not being harsh enough, Kerry supporters have unloaded these allegations this week against First Lady Laura Bush and the President in the hopes of damaging the personal credibility of the First Couple.
Charges of prior drug abuse by Laura and George Bush, as well as allegations of treason against the President, will dominate the Democratic talking-points this week with the intent of showing that the Kerry camp is getting serious about going on the offensive in this campaign.
Well, someone has to tell you. They're one and the sang.
Okay, the poster produced the following link for me:

So I'm taking back my earlier ZOT.
I already knew that sangh0 and sangha were one in the same.
In fact, I like to think that I am the reason sangh0 now includes in each of her posts a tagline which reads: "I also post under name 'sangha'".
She is one of the favored few over there.
It must be because skinner and elad think she is so pretty.
There's even more!! "Antelopes are missionaries, Zebras are reactionaries,... Pigeons plot in secrecy and Hamsters turn on frequently.. And the Zookeeper is very fond of rum."
They'd never tell us -- look how they covered up all the Clinton Drug use and even worse for eight years.... our media sucks!!!!!1
Hold on, now, it's a joke. That photo is fictitious. I was just fooling..."what she looks like when she's drinking..", you know?
Laura Bush smokes pot?
Ok, I'll assume that's true...Now, how does this make Kerry a better man?
Going after Laura Bush is about like going after the Easter Bunny. She conveys such an air of softness and femininity that this is just cruel .
Knowing libs though they go after everything that is good and decent just to trash it. After all a Crusifix in a jar of urine is considered art to these vermin.
"We don't want the public to start thinking this is just a pissing match"
You can't win a peeing contest with a skunk. Out class them and beat their brains out with substance.
Remember the little dweeb in gradeschool who would get so flustered when you'd insult him he just stand there turning red and then yell, "oh yeah? Well so are you." I think he grew up to be a Democrat
He has much more than that! Didn't you know he was in Vietnam?
I think pot got started strongly at the end of '69. By the '70's it was very popular.
Say what you want about Rush Limbaugh..but he predicts the
way these people operate...there is nothing..and I mean
nothing, that they won't throw out there...true?? who cares..
just get it out ...if you don't think so...watch when the
political talkers get on a Show...the Democrat keeps talking and doesn't stop...always when they are rebutted..
they talk and talk..inane and assinine..but they'll get their message in....like McAwful..what an excuse for a national leader..is a total conehead..pointed and empty..
Jake.
Best way to hurt Kelly is not buy the book.
It won't work. Kerry's number are going to fall like a rock with this tactic. Dumb, dumb, dumb!
