Funny how Reuters skimmed right over the 'good' shots from W aimed at Clinton and Algore, and went straight to the bit about marijuana, and made a story out of it. Send this to the top of your liberal bias in the media notepad.

I never thought it a big deal that BC smoked---only that he lied about it (and everything else). I was in a rock band: it was like the army---just to get in, you had to get your "shots," which included marijuana and crabs :)

Are there any people that voted for Bush in 2000 or 2004 that didn't think he had at least used marijuana?

Yeah, Dubya was talking about how ALGORE was approaching the marijuana question, then suggested how HE would approach it. This is not an admission of guilt - it's an analysis by Bush of ALGORE's and CLINTON's admission of guilt.

From the NYT article:
Mr. Bush, who has acknowledged a drinking problem years ago, told Mr. Wead on the tapes that he could withstand scrutiny of his past. He said it involved nothing more than "just, you know, wild behavior." He worried, though, that allegations of cocaine use would surface in the campaign, and he blamed his opponents for stirring rumors. "If nobody shows up, there's no story," he told Mr. Wead, "and if somebody shows up, it is going to be made up." But when Mr. Wead said that Mr. Bush had in the past publicly denied using cocaine, Mr. Bush replied, "I haven't denied anything."
He refused to answer reporters' questions about his past behavior, he said, even though it might cost him the election. Defending his approach, Mr. Bush said: "I wouldn't answer the marijuana questions. You know why? Because I don't want some little kid doing what I tried."
He mocked Vice President Al Gore for acknowledging marijuana use. "Baby boomers have got to grow up and say, yeah, I may have done drugs, but instead of admitting it, say to kids, don't do them," he said.
BTW, the quote in this article is NOT in the NYT.

He added: "But you got to understand, I want to be president. I want to lead. I want to set -- Do you want your little kid say, 'Hey, Daddy, President Bush tried marijuana, I think I will?"' Does anybody know where this quote came from? It is NOT in the New York Times article.
Has this guy given other interviews?

Aw, but did he inhale.
Plus, who cares. It all sounds like the MSM just attempting to continue to trash dubya and to be truthful, I am tired of hearing/reading about all of it.

Well, there's one that grabbed the pot line........
To: hkg11
This wouldn't be news if Bush just owned up to it. But then I guess we couldn't have the asanine drug laws that overcrowd our prisons with pot users.
I think the proper phrase suggested by the Libertarian Party to use at all times is the "insane war on drugs. "

That does it....the last straw.
That dog smoked weed. Shame.
I bet it was those Oaxacan "wife beaters" common back then.
