Fox News reporter says Bush admitted using cocaine, then retreats, citing, 'questions'

As political media buzzed about whether or not Senator Barack Obama's admission eleven years ago that he used cocaine as a teenager would hurt his political prospects, Fox News ran a segmenton "Obama's Cocaine Confession." Their conversation took an unusual turn, however, when Fox reporter Kirian Chetry said President Bush had also admitted to using cocaine.

Obama "talks very candidly, as did our current president, who admitted to using cocaine, correct? Well, who wrote, somebody wrote in a book -- well, he admitted that he had an alcoholic, he had a drinking problem. Who was it who said they witnessed him using cocaine? It was somebody who wrote a book..."

As her colleagues tried to talk her down from the line of discussion, Chetry responded, "Okay, okay, fine, but there were questions about the current president and whether he used cocaine or not as a young guy, but there's something about turning your life around...that people can accept."

A clip of the exchange is available for viewing below:

1. hah -- Raw's tease was much more intriguing

Fox News Reporter Says Bush Used Cocaine in Live Broadcast...Developing...

I was hoping for a much bigger story

3. Yes, it was during the 2004 State of the Union Address.

2. I love this...

when the repukes try to hammer Obama over this, it will continue to raise questions about Il Dunce's "reported" drug use. Smart move on Obama's part to get this out early--keep it up!!!

4. Off topic, but the film mentioned it: Clinton not inhaling pot

That's very possible, if he ate a brownie or whatever laced with pot. Pot brownies were a popular party nosh during thos times, weren't they? I doubt he would have inhaled a brownie.

[kskiska]

6. Also, Clinton was not a smoker.

I'm not a smoker, either, and considering my limited success with pot back then, Clinton's explanation is very plausible.

[onenote]

9. I'm a big fan of Clinton, but the "didn't inhale" thing was just lame

[DoBotherMe]

13. I believe him too

My sister has terrible allergies, she cannot inhale smoke of any kind...it sends her into fits of coughing and nausea. The smoke hits her mouth and bam! instant expulsion. Dana ; )

[Journeyman]

7. Oh, I don't know, I've inhaled brownies. . . and nachos and donuts and. . .

well, just about anything, especially when I've got "the munchies."

[paulk]

11. what he really said was that he didn't inhale properly, meaning

he smoked the joint like it was a cigarette...

which isn't the correct way to do it, of course - so

the MSM shortened it to "didn't inhale" - easier to ridicule Clinton that way.

[knitter4democracy]

14. High school joke at the time:

It's too hard to snort a brownie.

That's how we all figured he did it.

[Ishoutandscream2]

5. Oh, oh. I see a pink slip in Chetry's future

[MiniMe]

8. I bet he is deaf in one ear now from them screaming at him on the earpiece

[Capn Amerika]

10. Damn, her controllers are reining her in as she says that.

Would love to hear the feed from her earpiece. She insulted Der Fuhrer on his own propaganda network. To the camps with her.

[sammythecat]

12. What a couple of absolute LIARS!

I, and millions of other Americans have used cocaine in the past. It was the thing to do at one time. It was ubiquitous. If you were young, not a fundie, and not a shut-in, you got to be around cocaine at some time.

These fuckers are trying to imply Obama is a drug fiend who wants to be president. They putting that seed in their loyal viewers heads and they know those people, who are in large part fundies, idiots, and sheep, will buy it hook, line, and sinker. It's disgusting. They are liars and they know they are lying. They know exactly what they are doing. They are despicable people.

They disparage and dismiss anyone who suggests that it's likely bush used cocaine in the past. They know damn well he used it in the past. He was a wealthy drunk for cryin' out loud. It's not believable that he was never around it and equally unbelievable that a drunken george bush would "just say "no"".

They are so dishonest and self serving. I just don't have the words.
