Sharon Bush Denies Kitty Kelley Account

By Howard Kurtz Washington Post Staff Writer Thursday, September 9, 2004; Page C01

President Bush's former sister-in-law denied yesterday that she had given author Kitty Kelley any information about allegations of past drug use by Bush.

Sharon Bush is quoted in Kelley's forthcoming book about the Bush family as making one of the allegations, and Kelley's editor said in an interview Tuesday that she had provided "confirmation" for the information.

But Sharon Bush, who is divorced from the president's brother Neil, said in a statement: "I categorically deny that I ever told Kitty Kelley that George W. Bush used cocaine at Camp David or that I ever saw him use cocaine at Camp David. When Kitty Kelley raised drug use at Camp David, I responded by saying something along the lines of, 'Who would say such a thing?'

"Although there have been tensions between me and various members of the Bush family, I cannot allow this falsehood to go unchallenged."

Doubleday, Kelley's publisher, was quick to dispute her account.

Furthermore, Sharon, as has been known for quite some time, is no friend of the Bushies. If she is standing up spitting on the MSM's fire, it really does look bad for Katie and company.

Oh good heavens.. That's wonderful!!!!

[teletech]

Even if that book only sell one copy, the President & First Lady should sue Kitty Kellys a$$ off!!

[anonymous_user]

Does anyone really believe the 'Rats have anything left on Bush that they held back in the last election?

Now they're just making sh*t up.

[ClancyJ]

Oh, I think Sharon said with batting eyelids - "Who would say such a thing". She knew what she was doing and she can deny, deny, deny - but it gets printed anyway. Afterall, she did not say he did it - can she help it if the book printed a different interpretation.

Jealousy runs deep and evil and she is jealous.

But, by the way, it does not matter what they say - I will still support George Bush because of the job he has done and because of his qualities as president. Especially in comparison to the other candidate.

And Al-Qatie Qouriq is giving her free reign for three days to spread those lies.

It's not going to happen. Mark my words. Late Saturday it will be quietly announced that Kelley has been dropped from "Today".

"I didn't see this on Drudge, so I gave him a "news tip". Let's see if this gets some coverage."

Nice job. Drudge now has it up at the top of his site.

So a liar told a liar a lie. The liar got caught in the lie. The liar who quoted the liar got caught spreading the lie.

Ohhhhh what a tangled web we weave...

[Artemis Webb]

I don't believe Sharon Bush or Kitty Kelly. I think Sharon Bush said what Kitty Kelly claimed she did and Kitty Kelly for her part cared not if it was true. To Kelly it was just "juicy gossip".

Frankly I am sure some of the things in the book that are negatives about the President are true just as many of them are lies. I am less interested in the man he was though than I am the man he is. There is such a thing as redemption.

I truly believe that the Old Media (which is now more accurate than the MSM) will render themselves irrelevant during this election cycle. They have bitten too deeply of the poison apple and can not seem to stop their self destructive behavior.

Ultimately, once again, this is all about dealing with the serious and various mental disorders of liberals!

[ladyinred]

Kitty Kelly is a leftist liar, whose books are little more than tabloid gossip with no substantial proof. The rats are slinging the dirt as much as they can while claiming that Bush is running a dirty campaign!

[woofie]

A group called "Camp David Chipmonks for Truth" have denied that Sharon has denied the allegations.They have a new ad out.

[Robert Drobot]

So a liar told a liar a lie. The liar got caught in the lie. The liar who quoted the liar got caught spreading the lie.

Well done.

[ArmyBratproud]

Kitty Kelley should stick to third world prostitution.

Poor Katie Couric...whatever will she do. You know she was just foaming at the mouth to have Kitty on...


HEY KITTY ...HEY KATIE...HEY LIBERAL MEDIA...

MESS WITH THE BULL.....GET THE HORNS!

bump!!

[NYCVirago]

This is an example of why responsible authors tape record their interviews. In any event, the Bush coke charge is now without any traction whatsoever. I hope Kelley pushes it though. It will help traduce her credibility on everything else.

I think Sharon Bush agreed to whatever Kitty Kelley was pushing (Kelley is the one who suggested Bush did drugs at Camp David), because Sharon wanted to get back at the Bush family. But yeah, Kelley should have taped the conversation, and it's bizarre, to say the least, that she didn't, simply for this reason.

Revenge lost it's sweet flavor it would seem.
