New York Post:

A friend of the daughter of Vice President Joseph Biden is attempting to hawk a videotape that he claims shows Ashley Biden snorting cocaine at a house party this month in Delaware.

An anonymous male "friend" of Biden took the video, said Thomas Dunlap, a lawyer representing the seller. Dunlap and another man claiming to be a lawyer showed The Post about 90 seconds of 43-minute tape, saying it was legally obtained and that Biden was aware she was being filmed. The Post refused to pay for the video.

True or false who cares.

The important lesson is this: Drugs and cameras don't mix.

You are right ! ! ! Be nice when people learn to mind their own business.

The sad thing is many people, whether true or not, will believe Ashley Biden snorts coke. The damage is done. It's that easy.

Who cares? Obama wears his former cocaine use as a badge of honor.

Non-event.

First, it has never been stated that President Obama used cocaine, weed yes, coke no. Second, we claim to live in a country where we are a free people. As a free people, once we reach legal adult age we are solely responsibl­e for our own actions. What the VP's daughter did or didn't do in this intense is her life and business and has no reflection on the VP.

Now, if the VP were out yelling at the top of his lungs "don't do drugs"; if he made that a major part of his campaign and lets say he were in favor of the old "Rockerfel­ler Laws"; then there would be reason for comment because it would seem he can't instill in his own home what he wants to impose on all of America.

What you seem to elude to (in saying Non-even) is some comparasio­n with Sara Palin - who as we all know - is an ardent opponent against birth control and choice or abortion rights. Yet, she has a daughter that is not only a high school drop out but also an unwed mother. So now Biden's daughter is therefore also a none event and its President Obama's fault and past weed use that is some how the base for your logic.

I agree its a non - event but not for the reasons you use.

"Through his book, Obama has become the first potential presidenti­al contender to admit trying cocaine."

In the WaPo, no less:

The problem is they (meaning just about every politician in washington­) all used them in the past and didn't get caught, but they continue to justify locking people up who have the misfortune to get caught. How many potentiall­y great politician­s or leaders have we lost to this drug war? Millions of peoples lives ruined for no reason at all.

When is Huffington Post going to post the Update to this story about the lawyer QUITING & Backing Out from representi­ng the guy with the alleged video? "Thomas Dunlap made an abrupt about-face­, saying Sunday he no longer represents the "friend" of Ashley Biden who claims to have filmed her taking drugs at a recent party, reports RadarOnlin­e.com. It was a stunning change of heart for the 36-year-ol­d former military man who previously met with reporters, showed them 90 seconds of a 43-minute tape and claimed that it had been legally obtained and that Biden was aware she was being filmed." Most likely the story has turned out to be false. Sad that news agencies & many people will jump to conclusion­s without true facts.

WHAT is this phony baloney??

" A friend " of yours would NOT set you up for a videotapin­g
and then try to hawk the videotape!

That is NOT A FRIEND. It's a RABID OPPORTUNIS­T.

Has a real newspaper reported on this?
07:06 AM on 03/30/2009
Yes. New York Newsday and the New York Daily News.
