BOOK: BUSH ONCE SNORTED COCAINE AT CAMP DAVID

Shocking accusations that President Bush snorted cocaine at Camp David when
his father was in the White House have surfaced in a racy new book by celeb
author Kitty Kelley about the powerful family.

"Bush did coke at Camp David when his father was president, and not just
once either," Kelley quotes former sister-in-law Sharon Bush as saying,
according The Daily Mirror of London.

The president first dabbled in drugs in the mid-1960s while at Yale and
later snorted cocaine or smoked marijuana while in the National Guard,
according to Kelley's new biography, "The Family: The Real Story of the
Bush Dynasty."

The book, to be released later this month, also alleged first lady Laura
Bush smoked pot in her youth.

An admitted alcoholic, Bush started drinking to overcome shyness, the
Mirror reports.

"Poor Georgie. He couldn't relate to women unless he was loaded," former
schoolmate Torbery George said in the book.

Bush aides have said the president hasn't used an illegal drug in 25 years.

"I've told the American people that years ago I made some mistakes," he
said when asked during the 2000 campaign if he'd done drugs, according to
the Mirror.

"I've learned from my mistakes and should I be fortunate enough to become
president I will bring dignity and honor to the office."

The White House told the Mirror the book is filled with "trash discredited
years ago."
