Rudy Says Yes to Drug Use (Stories)
From TIME's Amy Sullivan:
It must officially be two weeks before Election Day because the
leashes are now off. This afternoon, while Mike Huckabee was telling a
Missouri television station that Barack Obama's high school and
college drug use should be a legitimate campaign issue, Rudy Giuliani
was on Fox News complaining that the media has failed to do its job
fully investigating Obama's college background. "God forbid
somebody would do some reporting on Barack Obama's use of drugs,"
snarled the former mayor.
Yes, God forbid. If only the New York Times would take the matter
seriously and run a front-page story laying out their
findings...Oh, wait. They did. In February. And it was a memorable article, too,
as it must be the first recorded instance of journalists charging that
a presidential candidate may have exaggerated his drug use, in
a memoir in which he voluntarily offered up details of youthful
indiscretions.
Just out of curiosity, has John McCain ever answered questions
about any possible drug use in his past?
