The Candidate And Cocaine

September 1, 1999 | ISSUE 35•31

Republican presidential candidate George W. Bush continues to dodge questions about whether he has ever used cocaine or other illegal drugs. What do you think?

  • Bush is a good man, and I'm sure he wouldn't have done drugs unless he absolutely had to.

  • A candidate who did drugs? I'm voting for him. He's sure to kick all the fat cats out of office and rule with groovy peace vibes.

    Randy Hart

  • I can't believe the media is making such a big deal out of this utter non-issue. When I was hanging with George back in the '70s, we did lots worse stuff than that, believe me.

  • I just don't understand. He had the whole world at his feet. Why would he want to party on drugs?
