Breaking on CNN charged with fraud,trying to obtain a controled substance....nothing follows..........
Give it a break Governmentsinker!
TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (Reuters) - Florida Gov. Jeb Bush's daughter Noelle, who is the niece of President Bush, was arrested on a charge of prescription fraud involving an anti-anxiety prescription drug, police said on Tuesday... Police in the state capital Tallahassee confirmed Noelle Bush's arrest and said it involved the anti-anxiety drug Xanax but other details were not immediately available... Noelle is the governor's middle child. The Florida first family's Web site lists her age as 24.
Geez..get a load of the last line:
President Bush's two daughters were arrested in 2001 on charges of underage drinking.
No bias there...</ sarcasm>
It includes the following warning:
The potential for psychological dependence is more of a risk in individuals with a history of alcohol or drug abuse. Addiction prone individuals should be under careful surveillance when receiving Xanax. DO NOT STOP TAKING XANAX ABRUPTLY. This can cause withdrawal reactions, including seizures. Signs of withdrawal may include heightened sensory perception, impaired concentration, dysosmia (distortion of normal smell perception), clouded sensorium, parasthesias, muscle cramps, muscle twitches, diarrhea, blurred vision, appetite decreases and weight loss. Anxiety and insomnia have also been reported. Withdrawal reactions may occur when dosage reduction occurs for any reason, including forgetting to take a dose. Xanax must be reduced gradually under the doctor's supervision.
I always thought it was cheap and easy.
Who knows something about Xanax? It's pretty commonly prescribed, isn't it? I know it's very easy to develop a dependency on it (I know an elderly person who is terribly addicted to it - has been on anti-anxiety meds for some time). Do people abuse it for reasons other than to control their anxiety?
I'm as conservative as the day is long, am a big fan of Condoleezza Rice, President George W. Bush , Ronald Reagan, and Tricky Dick (go figure; everyone has their dark side).I've seen other Bush supporters use "Shrub." Think how it must annoy Molly Ivins, who thought she'd stuck him with something awful.
So she has a bottle that was not a refill, this is really beginning to sound like Chuy's Pharmacy.
Anyone care to do a little research about the pharmacies in Tallahassee and if a Democratic Precincts Worker might be a druggists??
Stop stinking up FR with your trash talk!
The U.S. State and Federal authorities routinely destroy peoples lives over exactly this kind of "offence". Children are taken from their families, steady wage earners are jailed, family property is taken, innocent people are shot by wannabe ninja "tac teams" serving no knock warrants, terminal patients are denied demonstrably useful medications, etc., etc., ad nauseum.
I think it's a very interesting story and will be most interested in seeing exactly how Jeb and "W" react.
Well, look at the bright side; they are not even trying to look discreet anymore about their dirty tactics. I mean even if we look at it from the perspective that they played no active role and see it just as a "lucky break" for the dems if they make the slightest move to blow it out of proportion it is going to look like they're kicking somebody when they're down, and I think Americans on the whole find that distasteful.
They are getting desperate and they are looking desperate. Americans don't care for that either I don't think. So let's go ahead and give them the rope. They are doing a real good job of hanging themselves.
Does this incident change your opinion of Gov. Jeb Bush in the slightest? It sure doesn't change mine. People have problems and people's kids embarass them...even when they get older. It's a fact of life and to try to make more of it than it is is to look petty and vindictive. The Democrats are twisting in the wind and that is their own doing...or perhaps I should say "undoing." Hehehehe...
The connection must be made for the bulk of their democrat readers who are baffled by the intracacies of the intact family.
Thats fine, as long as you don't mind being associated with those who use the name as an insult. Although if you explain yourself as well as you did in this post every time you use it, then you should be fine.
