Bush’s past.     The feeding frenzy over George’s not answering the Big “C” question is driving me crazy. I confess that I had to ask what “C” stood for and was shocked when Doro [the Bushes’ daughter] told me that it stood for cocaine. His dad and I react differently. I am sick of it, yell at the tube, and go into another room. His dad watches every holier-than-thou commentator and political opponent. My gut feeling is that he should not answer the question; not because he has or has NOT used drugs, but because what he did 25 years ago is not relevant now. Incidentally, nobody has come forward to say he did use cocaine, and I have not asked him, nor has his father. His opponents in both parties are really loving it all... -- Michael Pugliese </BLOCKQUOTE> </HTML>
