Breaking on CNN charged with fraud,trying to obtain a controled substance....nothing follows..........
Vic get your smears stright will ya?
Several members of the Carter family (no, not the musical "Carter Family", Kimmy's clan).
LOL.... thats pretty good. Yes our youth need better role models than Noelle or Jena Bush. Wonder how many youth even know Noelle and Jena exist, when most couldn't even tell you the name of the vice president? Anyway, just for laughs, who do you think should be role model for the nations youth? The Clintons perhaps?
Lack of attention from the dads? Why would you develop such a theory? Do you know something about their intra-family relationships?
Not to make an excuse for her; she's clearly got a serious problem that needs to be dealt with. But I'll bet this sort of thing happens to a governor's/senator's/representative's/mayor's - take your pick - kid far more often than you think. (It's probably usually dealt with much differently, too.) It goes right under the radar screen. This is only a big deal because she's the daughter of a Bush brother. The media is going nuts.
So much for all the Conspiracy Theories jumping all over this story at FR. She (apparently) committed a crime, and the press got the story from the cops. Everyone was doing their job.
I hope this doesn't ruin my spotless record of public disdain for politicians, but this really has diddly to do with the President or the Governor of Florida.
Shame on the news media. Reporters who break this as "news" need to try to borrow a life from someone who has one.
It would seem that she already had a presciption but faked a phone call to renew it. A bit more patience could have found her a doctor willing to dole out more prescriptions if her doctor refused. Barring that option, someone already posted a number of links to obtain Xanex without a prescription.
The fraud committed appears to be a new level of desperation for her.
The only case I recall hearing of a celeb faking prescriptions was Dano Plato who already had a criminal record including armed(?) robbery.
I don't know what the standard punishement is for a 3rd degree felony of this sort (first offense).
Different mitigating circumstances (especially in her legal past) will determine whether she serves any jail time.
This arrest could point to an increasing problem in her life, it could be the only time she got caught, or it could have been a fluke. Early to say.
George W. Bush used to drink. He quit. Was he an alcoholic? I believe that's your guess.
Why would you describe the Bush girls as "heavy drinkers"? Do you have some evidence of that? And even if they were, is that so unusual for college age kids...you know, "tender"?
I have had a prescription for it as well and a doctor who even prescribed it far more liberally than I needed. Sometimes I never even filled the scripts. In fact, I still have probably 20-30 doses left from the last time I filled it which was about a year ago. I take it only rarely. However, the drug hasn't yet been invented to break my addiction to FR.
That kid looks like hell. This is a classic before /after addict picture.
First time I've seen it compared to heroin. I've always seen it compared to Valium.
Certainly is a scary way to lead off an article.
