From a PR perspective, if you were high enough that you can't remember what substances you took to get there, does it really matter whether or not it was cocaine?

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
Do you suppose it's possible to not be able to remember cocaine use?
In a black out? I don't see why not.

Well, if he was just drunk then he didn't do anything illegal.
Still, it's an odd defense.
"Mr. President - is it true you did cocaine in your past?"
"Dude, I was so wasted back then I can't remember."
eta: wtf? This post disappeared.
Huh. My post #9362 disappeared.
eta: Ah. Entering a new post brought it back. Weird.
I think tommyrot just had a blackout.

Actually for a few decades now "I don't remember" and "Even though I was in charge, I had no idea what was going on" have been considered perfectly legitimate excuses, at least from a PR perspective. I was so happy when Ken Lay and Whazzizface were finally held accountable in court despite using the "I had no idea" plea.

With Bush, it's the bullshit that comes with it, like his line about doing bad things in his "youth" when he was like 40, that make me mad.

Dudes! I have 8 more years in which to do bad things!! And then I might have to grow up, but only if I intend to go into politics.
I don't care about the past use either ( see our current govenor) it's the stupid lying and memory loss and position of moral superiority that so many damn politicians take. drug use, affairs, sniper fire, C'MON!
