Apparently GWB did pot when he was younger (ie, prior to 1998..) OMG!!@ The most interesting thing I think must be the
Fark comments on this. There's some classic comments in there.. One of the things which impresses me however is how few of them are pro-bush, while all doing a good job of articulating they think he's a retard for reasons *other* than these pot smoking revelations. I remember reading Fark back in 2002, and being dismayed at how right-wing almost all the comments on there were.

I though it was already widely accepted Dubya was a cocaine user in his younger years?

Oh yes.. there are even reports from ex-secret service agents of Dubya snorting coke at Camp David in his younger years (remembering of course that his dad had been a regular there since the 70s as director of the CIA, and in the 80s as Regan's VP). My main interest about the fark comments was that it was not focussing on his drug use in the past, it was that he was currently running the country into the ground financially and politically. It pleased me how many people acknowledged his past drug use but said it didn't matter as much as what he was doing wrong now.

Oh absolutely. I suppose what I meant is that it's not that surprising people aren't that worried by "pot-smoking revelations" given that the boat already sailed on "coke-snorting revelations" years ago.

I agree that the man (if indeed he is a man) is a chump.
