In his coy statements regarding past drug use, Bush has consistently
labeled any alleged indiscretions as "mistakes." If so, they are
obviously mistakes he believes should be without consequences, either
in the past or during the current presidential campaign. His
evasiveness makes him just another hard-line hypocrite willing to lock
up other "youthful offenders" for breaking the same laws that he was
once too weak to obey.
