drug abuse
Drug abuse is a problem in our society. A large number of the population has gone through a period of their life abusing drugs. As I was reading the Washington Post article on Cindy McCain's period of drug abuse I wondered about the relevance to the presidential campaign.
Perhaps you think its relevant. Perhaps you believe a detailed account of her drug use and abuse and the ways and means she used to illegally obtain them is important information that the public needs to know and consider when choosing a president.
If the drug abuse by the wife of a presidential candidate is of such importance that it gets front page coverage in the Washington Post it seems to me the drug abuse of a candidate for president is equally if not more relevant and important.
"Pot had helped, and booze; maybe a little blow when you could afford it. Not smack, though."
Frankly I think Obama's drug use was long enough ago to be irrelevant. I also believe Cindy McCain's drug abuse was long enough ago to be irrelevant. But the Washington Post disagrees, at least as far as Cindy's drug use.
Far be it for me to suggest that the Washington Post is in the tank for Obama and has turned its newspaper's front page into the liberal equivalant of faux news. As much as I disagree that a candidate's, or a candidate's wife's, long past drug abuse is news worthy I'm sure they think that they are serving the public's interest.
So what about a detailed front page story about Obama's drug abuse. How often did he smoke marijuana? Everyday, just on the weekends, several times a day? And for how many years? Blow would imply powder cocaine. How often was he able to "afford it?" Or was he also abusing crack cocaine? "No smack" he tells us, but are there any other drugs he didn't mention that he abused? Did he ever use the same drugs Cindy McCain used, vicodan and percocet? What about LSD or qualudes?
The means that drug addics use to illegally optain their drugs are often quite sordid. Again, not a topic I think worth discussing. But the Washington post thinks these details are front page news in the story of Cindy McCain. So how did obama get the illegal dugs he was addicted to? Did he ever sell them as well?
If this is "news" it seems to me its news not just about Cindy McCain, but news about Obama and Palin as well. I look forward to a fair and balanced front page story about them on this subject in the Washington Post.
