A video purporting to show Ashley Biden -- daughter of Vice President Joe Biden -- snorting cocaine reportedly is being offered for sale. The New York Post reports that it was shown a 90-second clip of a 42-minute video by a lawyer claiming to represent an anonymous "friend" of the vice president's daughter. The lawyer, Thomas Dunlap, and another man say the video shows Biden's daughter using the drug at a house party this month in Delaware.

I’m sure this will be trumpeted in the MSM for weeks, just like the breathless reporting of Jenna Bush having a beer.
Well.....it’s made it to FOX. Will it go on to the “lesser” news outlets..ABC, CBS and MSNBC or whatever they call themselves now?
I’d love it to be true, but that’s a strange story.
Come on. We have to be more sensitive. She’s struggling with her mother’s death in that accident!
She’s 27 years old. He can’t control what she does.
I don’t see what the big deal is. Let her enjoy herself.
It’s so difficult to the vice president’s daughter. The stress and everything must have forced her to do drugs. The constant right wing defamation of father and his “friend” must be overwhelming!
I dunno, this probably solidifies her credentials to be a future pres--ent.
If Biden was my dad I’d probably do coke,too....
As I said last night on a similar post . . . Unless there is VERIFIABLE DOCUMENTATION, all this “alleged” stuff is nothing but gossip mongering.
Democrats blow up allegations into full fledged Congressional Investigations. Republicans are too soft to do the same and should not be like the Democrats, period.
Republicans wait until the Truth is VERIFIED by a reliable source (and Media is questionable, except maybe for the British/Canadian Press) and then Republicans tell the documented truth!
Example: Democrats accept Wiki and Snopes as “documentation” and “verification.”
Republicans demand to see the actual documents before making an educated decision!
Recall: Constitution Uber Alles.
“I don’t see what the big deal is. Let her enjoy herself.”
It’s illegal to start with.
Or Bristol Palin’s love child.
The tape has been viewed by a RadarOnline.com freelance reporter who confirms the woman looks identical to Ashley Biden.
Tom Dunlap, an attorney for Dunlap, Grubb and Weaver in Washington D.C. is representing the seller of the tape in brokering a deal and several news organizations have seen the footage.
In addition to RadarOnline.com, representatives for the New York Post, a large British newspaper and the National Enquirer have all viewed the tape.
Some “friend”. Just like Michael Phelps “friends”.
If Joe was my dad I’d probably snort D-Con.
The only significance in the story is as you said, compare the media handling with the Bush girls having a drink. But then we know the media are hypocrites.
Since when is a 27 year old a "child?"
And we’re all supposed to care about PEOPLE Magazine-like issues...?
This is significant for a couple of reasons (if it is true)
1. Cocaine is illegal, and Hillary just a couple days ago blamed Americans insatiable appetite for all the deaths on the border.
2. If you cannot teach your own children not to break the law, is it because you are a lawbreaker yourself, and therefore need more scrutiny?
3. We need to bring items like these to the forefront. We are not fabricating them if they are true, it is an extremely effective tactic that the left employs agains us, and we have to be ready to fight to win, while standing on our principles. I don’t want to see us sink to lying, however, I am done giving the politicians who lie cheat and steal, along with their families, a pass because it is the respectable thing to do. Don’t bring a knife to a gunfight!
4. She is a social worker, that means her judgement is important and she is addicted to drugs if the info is true. Children are at risk if that is the case, and it NEEDS to be dealt with ASAP should this be factual.
