A couple of odd e-mails make me think I oughta say this…
I don't really care if George W. Bush did Cocaine in his youth. I'm against recreational drugs and any sort of intoxicants as a personal choice — meaning for me — but others can do what they like with them, up to the point where their actions under the influence affect others. I think, for instance, that if you get drunk, get into your car and cause an accident that kills someone, you should be treated pretty much the same as if you got a gun and deliberately shot that person.
My comment about Bush and Cocaine was not about the fact that he used it but that he (allegedly) said a dumb thing about it. That was even dumber than Clinton's line about how he tried Marijuana but didn't inhale…and we all gave the guy a lot of grief about that.
Also, yes, I live in "Hollywood" and I work in the entertainment industry. This does not mean I use drugs. If you've ever had a beer and a cigarette, you are a raging alcoholic and druggie compared to me. The strongest non-prescription substance I've ever put into my system is high fructose corn syrup…and I've even given that up.
