Bush doing a line of coke in his youth gives him no right to make laws against a dealer selling crack to kids?
Going five miles over the speed limit on purpose is breaking the law and by your logic you would be a hypocrite to talk about someone going 70 in a school zone or.... is your contention that if you go 5 mph over then you have bought on to everyone who goes five mph over? How bout 10? 20? 30?
how bout someone who got his licence taken away for speeding and now doesn't speed? Is he a hypocrite if he tells people he was wrong in the past and thinks that speeders should be punished?

I am sorry but comparing speeding to drug use is not really the point. Speeding doesnt affect one's mental capacity they way drugs have been proven to.
Severity is defintely a factor. Do you really think Bush did A line of coke? He was a rich man doing a rich mans drug and my guess would be plenty of it.
Hmmm telling them they are wrong..no
Going around funding police efforts to give other speeders tickets...yep
Now see I got from that article that Bush says its ok to lie(or not tell the whole truth, which my mom always said is still lying even if its not technically) rather that fess up for the good of the kids. Awww isn't he so considerate. Like kids use the president for a role model these days. They all try to act like eminem and 50cent. I propose the real reason he doesn't talk about it is because he was really addicted and doesnt want to have to talk about it not because he is looking out for the kids. He just found a diplomatic way of avoiding the situation.
But enough bush bashin for me today. I just think its a sad state of affairs when the best we got is him and his spineless buddy kerry.
FYI I think bush was 35 if I remember right when he quit/found jesus. Not exactly his youth.
