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.
How can he have an affair like that when they've been telling eveyrone he is having an affair with Dr. Rice?
My, he is busy, isn't he.
Is that right, Troll? You think Bush would be standing in front of his convention talking about drugs like Kerry talked about his WAR HERO status?
I say.. push this to the limit. It's sure to go nowhere.
I don't think you can blame Neil Bush for this.
He didn't seem to have the business sense, luck or whatever that his other brothers had. And marriage is a two-way street. His shrew of a wife had her part in this, it's "till death do us part", through "richer AND poorer".
Sharon obviously was looking for a back door to this relationship and as soon as she came out of the door there was Kitty-Litter with a bag of money and a smile, "So tell me what you know about 41 and 43..."
What's next? Maybe Bush prostituting Barney for hush hush campaign funds? At this point nothing would surprise me from these clowns.
They ought to be required to sell it next to copies of the Weekly World News with pictures of the batboy prominently displayed.
I have seen pictures of Kerry smoking a huge joint...think it's real.
"Man, is this going to backfire on them."
No kidding. Other than Bill Clinton, who didn't inhale, just about every college student from 1965 to at least 1980 tried pot. Big deal.
I think we should call this latest campaign brainstorm of Kerry's "Reefer Madness".
It reveals alleged sex offenses against minors by Dubya's father.
It reveals the use of the White House by male hookers under Dubya.
It reveals Bush's evil plans for YOU (details of which you will have to get elsewhere), which should alarm you.
It reveals crooked business deals by every member of the Bush clan, including the oh-so-holy first lady, Laura "Round Heels" Bush.
It reveals how former first lady Babs Bush is almost a practicing witch.
It reveals how Dubya has had a very special friend in the mayor of a Tennessee city, who has has cohabited the Texas ranch many times.
It reveals the details of embarassing photographs of Bush that actually caused U.S. Govt. agents to perpetrate the anthrax mailings to destroy the building of National Enquirer and kill photo editor Stevens.
bUMP
"Tell us whom you served with Mr. President." Poor grammar. it should read "Tell us with whom you served, Mr. President." Usual liberal dummies. They need a 'Marysecretary' to proof their ads (smile). Next they'll be saying that Laura was a prostitute! How far can they go? We're sure finding out!
Does George Bush also bite the heads off of chickens? Is he the anti-christ?
Great stategy! Thanks kitty and Kerry. The sound you hear is the back fire it will have on the Skerry campaign.
Landslide for Bush.
Kitty Kelly has made a very nice living dishing dirt on famous people. How much of the dirt is true is the question....
Please give me a link to this. I'd love to forward it around. It's hilarious.
Don't believe that sweet Grandmotherly routine....I suspect that she saves it for the grandkids and when she wants to turn it on. Woe be unto anyone that gets her mad. If there's a problem, I suspect that she'll just get it taken care of......no muss no fuss no bother.
Both my Grandmothers were like that. When the chips are down, there's no one else that would want in my corner.
"This should backfire nicely."
Let us hope so. The depravity of the democratic party, not to mention the mainstream media, is becoming quite frightening.
which Barbara?
Liberals don't believe in the anti-Christ. He's mentioned in the Bible. lol
Everybody please back up and read the poster's comment. This is a satire. It is not real. It is a fiction. Please don't forward this around the net.
