CONSERVATIVES SILENT

To the editor:

Cocaine use? The ultimate GOP presidential candidate's question in
this nightmare Y2K election!

With all the nasty effort that the right-wing politicians have put
into attacking Bill Clinton's "puffed but didn't inhale" marijuana
quote, I find the conservatives (hypocrites that they are) strangely
silent about the possible use by Gov. George W. Bush of that major
mind-distorting, snorting substance.
