Wilko, I hear "the" president is just down the road from you today.
This may be a good thing for him. (1) he's not at home while these
tapes of him admitting drug use are all over the media. (2) he might
want to try some of the cafes that are so popular in amsterdam. GRIN

Anyway, say "hi" from all of us, will you?

"The cocaine thing, let me tell you my strategy on that," Bush said on
the tape. "Rather than saying no ... I think it's time for someone to
draw the line and look people in the eye and say, you know, 'I'm not
going to participate in ugly rumors about me and blame my opponent,'
and hold the line. Stand up for a system that will not allow this kind
of crap to go on." -- Whooa, what was he on when he said that?!

"But you gotta understand, I want to be president, I want to lead. I
want to set -- Do you want your little kid to say, 'Hey daddy,
President Bush tried marijuana, I think I will?' "

LOL! Considering how the Republicans tried to impeach Clinton who only
admitted to smoking pot and not inhaling and using cigars on not very
attractive girls, I wonder in what they'll do with a president who
admits to using cocaine?

Of course, considering the double standards they use, they'll probably
do nothing. :-(

My guess is that he will pass those with his nose high in the air...
while some secret service guy quickly wipes the white powder from his
nose. They usually don't sell cocaine in those cafe's.

Some of my friends are down there now, I guess their protests could be
considered "sending him some greetings"by the propaganda machine... :-)

Hey kids, get a rich daddy with the right connections and you can get
away with anything (in no particular order): being AWOL during wartime,
warcrimes, torture, hard drug abuse, public drunkenness, financial
mismanagement of big companies as well as the whole nation, wholescale
murder, (including the roughly 8500 deaths of U.S. servicemen as a
direct result of Iraq... far more wounded U.S. soldiers die on their way
to or shortly after arrival to hospitals in Germany than in Iraq itself)
lying, using double standards, mixing church and state, terrorising the
population and what more.

So much for a president giving the right example...
