McClellan: Bush Couldn't Remember If He Did Cocaine

ABC's Political Punch:

Writes McClellan: "'The media won't let go of these ridiculous cocaine rumors,' I heard Bush say. 'You know, the truth is I honestly don't remember whether I tried it or not. We had some pretty wild parties back in the day, and I just don't remember.'

"I remember thinking to myself, How can that be? How can someone simply not remember whether or not they used an illegal substance like cocaine? It didn't make a lot of sense."

I'll bet a hair analysis would help him remember, and as forthright as GB43 is he'll be the first to suggest it.

"NOT!!"

"What, me worry?"

If you do enough cocaine, you can fry your brain. Maybe that's why he can't remember.
'cocaine is a hella of a drug,' the late Rick James

I suspect he doesn't, in fact, remember. There is the possibility of organic brain damage. Maybe he also forgot that someone told him there were no WMD's in Iraq; hell, maybe he forgot someone told him there was a serious storm approaching N.O.

Yeah, like Ted Bundy couldn't remember the last person he killed.

I bet he couldn't. He probably sniffed 12 lines instead of the normal eight.

Having seen a coke head relative experience shaky memory makes me think the man "tried" it on a daily basis for a long time. Somewhere there are party goers and a dealer who could write books that would sell.

I had a girfreind who once told me she couldn't rememeber if she had ever been sodomized before. She did say when she was young she went to a lot of wild parties though.

Not too bright...... gotta wonder about that. Didn't flat deny it, just said he doesn't remember doing it. Of course, who doesn't remember those days in the 70s and 80s when nobody thought cocaine was any worse than aspirin. Who ever did it couldn't possibly forget bellying up to a grinder and fluffing up a chunk of pink or blue flake Peruvian blow, laying it out on a mirror and sucking it up through a rolled up 100dollar bill? The freeze, the taste in the back of the throat, the incredible social space opening up and the serious sense of animation..... followed by the hint of a wicked crash and the undeniable urge to get some more before that happened....
I am sure that he does remember doing cocaine.... he just isn't much of a liar these days... stopped trying. He would have been better off flat denying it.

For my part, this is too much information! I did not necessarily need validation of the obvious.

[owiseone]

Maybe he could ask all those people who knew him during the "Coke-Head Years"?
They would help him remember!
He'll be as shocked as they, that he actually got to be the President of the USofA!!!

Bush's rubber nose to the sky, telling 935 lies.

[Wombat]

So Bush can't remember if he did cocaine. Dosen't cocaine do that sorta thing? QED !!

[Whinger]

Kinda like taking the 5th!

[Vyvjala]

sounds like he drank a 5th.........

[gakabani]

We are a pathetic nation for electing this criminal president. We get what we elected.

Mr. Gaka, Nobody "Elected" George W. Bush! Don't you remember? The Supreme Court of the United States "selected" him! I think time and history will show the complete story and identify those "Justices" who were probably forced to do what they did.
