McClellan: Bush Couldn't Remember If He Did Cocaine-LOL!
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."

1.  'You know, the truth is I honestly don't remember ...

A variation on "I don't recall"

Bush snorted blow.

For sure.

4. I remember every drug I did
and every gut wrenching, nauseating effect every drug had on me, every embarrassing detail about the behavior they provoked. It seems all the hideous memories are the most detailed.

What a lameass excuse from a drunk. If he was having that many blackouts, he'd be in even worse shape now.

20. His Wernicke-Koraskoff syndrome is like a flashing neon sign
to me, an old neuropsychiatry nurse.

However, he'd be in much worse shape had he suffered as many blackouts as he claimed to.

12. WMD
Washington Memory Deficiency.

No, Scotty, it doesn't make a lot of sense to me, either. Let's just say my conclusion is that he's not being forthright with you.

16. How about that Robin William's line, "If you remember the 60's...

(So, if Bush DOESN'T remember.....)

24. He was arrested for coke use in 72
According to a new book, three independent sources close to the Bush family report that Governor Bush was arrested in 1972 for cocaine possession, and taken to Harris County Jail, but avoided jail or formal charges through an informal diversion plan involving community service with Project P.U.L.L., an inner city Houston program for troubled youths at the Martin Luther King Jr. Community Center in Houston's dirt-poor Third Ward.


(In another new book, reporter Bill Minutaglio, writes that the year of community service was arranged by the Governor's father, ex-president Bush, after he caught Bush Jr. driving drunk.)
That year certainly is out of character with the rest of Bush Jr.'s life. Before and after 1972, he was a rich, hard drinking playboy. Suddenly, and only that one time in his life, he worked for a liberal charity in an inner city ghetto. As soon as the year was over, he resumed his previous pattern and has done no charity work since.

As for the arrest and diversion charge, Governor Bush admits working at the center in 1972. When asked for comment, Bush's campaign spokesman reportedly said "Oh shit... no comment." McLellan denies saying that.

18. Whenever anybody says "honestly" or "I swear to God"
they're lying through their teeth. 100%.

22. He was doing too many drugs to remember one from the other
At least, that's what it sounds like.
