My initial reaction is disgust, to be frank. The privileged Bush kids seem to have no clue about the responsibilities that come with that privilege. Would it be too much to expect this kid to ask herself---before she broke the law---what impact her actions might have on the millions of Americans who depend on her father and uncle for leadership?

Jeb Bush has released a statement indicating that the report is true. She was trying to pass off a bogus prescription---a deliberate illegal act.

Just pathetic.

Don't you believe in innocent until proven guilty?

Yes it would, frankly. Sorry about your little, Bush "dependency problem". The rest of us are individualistic, free Americans who realize that George W Bush may be the POTUS, but he doesn't tuck us in at night, and I couldn't care less about what pills his niece does or doesn't take.

"just pathetic"...

I know, beckett. But consider that in most cases with first-time drug offenders they usually are sentenced to a stint in a Drug Rehab treatment center.

Being Jeb's daughter could work against her.

She is "hooked" and needs help.

Death to the patriarchal, phallo-rational, imperialist, ethnocentric, racist, colonial tyranny of linear thinking.....
