DOWNSIDE LEGACY AT TWO DEGREES OF PRESIDENT CLINTON
SECTION: THE STORY OF A CRIMINAL ENTERPRISE
SUBSECTION: DRUGS
Revised 1/8/01

NewsMax.com 11/3/00 Carl Limbacher "…… New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani said he believes that an allegation Vice President Al Gore once tried to pressure a friend to lie about his past drug use should "cancel out" any negative impact of Thursday night's revelation that Texas Governor George Bush may have been less than candid about being stopped in 1976 for drunk driving. Guiliani made the comment on Fox News Channel's Hannity & Colmes Friday night:
HANNITY: Is it legitimate, when we have Al Gore's best friend on tape saying that he was a regular pot smoker, that he asked him to lie about it if the press came to him -- which he did; if they're going to draw this blood is it then fair game for everybody?
GIULIANI: Maybe the thing to do is that it cancels -- let's cancel this all out and go back to who do you think is going to make a better president. ………
Minutes before Giuliani's remark, Hannity played an audiotape from an interview of former Gore friend John C. Warnecke, Jr. conducted in September by WLAC Nashville, Tennessee talk radio host Phil Valentine. …..
VALENTINE: Was (Gore) doing more than marijuana when you were with him or was it just pot?
WARNECKE: Well, we smoked hashish together and we smoked a type of marijuana called "Thai sticks." That's a special high-grade marijuana that comes wrapped in a special stick from Thailand. And what they do is, after they wrap it around a stick they dip it in opium. So it's an opium-laced marijuana.
VALENTINE: Now you're asserting that Al Gore continued the drug use after you stopped 20 years ago.
WARNECKE: I'll tell you the story. I know I smoked with him one time while he was actually campaigning.
VALENTINE: For Congress?
WARNECKE: For Congress, the first time around.
VALENTINE: That would be in '76?
WARNECKE: '76, correct. ……
Gore has claimed publicy that he stopped using drugs in 1972. ……."
