please, talk into my lapel, mr. bush

I haven't blogged about the whole "President admitting to smoking marijuana" thing, but I think it's high time I did. (Pun intended, thankyouverymuch.)

I am not the head cheerleader for the Bush administration in any way. But I am a little wary about the timing of the disclosure by Mr. Wead. Why not bring this to the forefront during the re-election campaign (I'm sure some would have paid a LOT of money for those recordings in order to smear Bush).

Wonkette wrote a witty entry titled "Doug Wead: A Tease and a Tool" that summed it all up. Wead won't release anything else, but does that mean he has other incriminating tapes about Mr. Bush? Maybe a few key sound effects ("sniffffff snifffffff") and also other warnings to children not to do what he did? I'd like to buy this on CD if possible -- I need some good listening for my spring break trip to New Orleans. (I'm bringing Clinton's recording of "My Life," but the sweet sweet voice of Slick Willy will only fill a fraction of the hours in the car.)

To sum it all up: I don't believe that smoking marijuana is the only thing that Mr. Bush has ever done. Hopefully we [a hard-knuckled gang of bloggers] can beat the other tapes out of Mr. Wead...
