To remind people, here was how bush treated YOUNG men and women that were caught with illegal drugs.



The Bush administration has begun enforcing a law that denies federal financial aid to college students with drug convictions. In the past, thousands of students simply didn't answer a question about drug offenses on their forms and got aid just the same. Now if they don't answer, the application will be rejected.


Now we will fast forward a couple of years to bush today and what he thought about Rush Limbaugh being caught as an illegal drug user.

"Rush is a great American. I am confident he can overcome any obstacles he faces right now,” George W. Bush was quoted in the Washington Post as telling his staff the other day after Limbaugh’s racist comments on ESPN and the first revelations that Rush was an illegal drug user.


Now can anyone explain why Rush, a man old enough to know better, is a "great american" for doing illegal drugs. Yet young men and women that do the same thing should be denied a college education?????
