W might be to trusting, thought Putin was friend too.
Yes, he was saying Gore shouldn't answer the question; he, Gore, shouldn't imply that it's okay to be a dope head.
Who sez that pot smokers can't become President?
Toke up, my friends :-)
HELLLLL YEAH! Finally, a pic of commie-Kerry that I like.
They want him to be less than he is........because they are so much less than he is....in public and in private.
So in a taped private conversation with the President, Bush unknowingly reveals he's a good man of conscience. Shocking revelation!
This guy is no friend. I hope he enjoys his little noteriety. He's shown rather than be of equitable character as the President, that he would stab a "friend" for a quick buck and publicity. If I were "friends" with this guy, I'd dump him after this knowledge.
Nothing here that can hurt the President. Only increases my respect for him.
Magically, people who record innocent conversations are not called ugly, whereas people who record criminal activities, like Linda Tripp, are called every name under the sun...wow..what a world..
These tapes are nothing but good news for Dubya. They just demonstrate all over again that he's a man of his word. Not one surprise among his comments. He's been consistent from the beginning.
You beat me to it - exactly right.
I don't think Bush's possible dabbling with pot while he was in his bad old days is necessarily a fatal flaw, just as it should not have been a fatal flaw for Robert Bork. Everything I've read indicates that the man genuinely turned his life around. Contrast this to Bill Clinton's legendary womanizing, which continued well into the White House and probably beyond.
The whole story strikes me as a cheap shot - and I am by no means a Bush fan. There are plenty of thing to beat up George Bush over, but this area is certainly not one of them. Opposing him on principle is one thing, taking cheap shots about some past personal failings, especially in light of the fact that those habits are no longer part of his life, is nothing more than ad hominem attack.
And Linda was asked by Monica to commit a felony in covering up the facts under investigation. Some have forgotten that.
How much does Monica weigh now? Does someone have the facts on that?
I think it makes him look good. I am against drugs, but I am not surprised a rich kid at Yale tried them.
I wonder if President Bush now refers to his 'friend' as "DickWead" to his remaining friends...bump for further digestion.
Sound much for trusting 'friends' for 'advice' and use as a 'sounding board', eh?!
Maybe former friend. The liberal press failing once again, because it shows the president to be an honest man.
Good on you W. One of the few of his twisted generation who knows what the definition of the word "responsibility" is. Dem's climb all over themselves to talk about how they were molested as a kid or about all the dope they did, its sickening.
I agree with you 100%!
My sarcasm about the media buying the Clinton BS about "...smoking it but not inhaling" obviously was missed by some Freepers.
Well, NO SHIT SHERLOCK! The quote above is from the story as "reported" in the NY Times. Liberals of all stripes, and especially those in the left-wing media, just can't believe that ALL politicians are not fakes and phonies, like their boys and girls - BOTH Clintons, Gore, Kerry... name ANY of them! Do or say WHATEVER it takes to get, or hold on to, power and prestige. Reinvent yourself whenever politically necessary. THAT's their M.O.
When a conservative-leaning Christian, like the President, comes along with deep faith and convictions, that never waiver, they don't know how to handle it.
They also don't know how to handle somebody that is confident and self-assured (they derisively call it "cocky", but either way, you need that in a leader), tough when necessary, manly, and truly loves his country and our history, traditions, and way of life. They just can't FATHOM all of this.
I KNOW the left-wing media, and all left-wingers across the land, are VERY disappointed that they didn't get some new dirt on the President with these "Wead-Whack" tapes, but you can be assured that they will hound this "Judas" til his death (when he will probably become a Democrat voter, if he's not already one) to get any recordings he has not released yet (if there really are any more). What a "dick-Wead" this guy must be.
