Well hasn't the youngest daughter of our Vice-President been caught in a pickle?
Actually no, she's been caught on a 43 minute video snorting cocaine and the asking price has been touted to be between $250,000 and millions.
I'm mildly surprised that a newspaper hasn't come forward with the money. Or is just an indictment of our times that politicians who abuse drugs are no biggie when it comes to them and their wayward children?
After all, this is not the first time that news like this has broken. I'm sure we all remember Gerald Ford's wife, Betty who had an addiction to a lethal duo - alchohol and pain killers.
It is the reason that we now have the benefit of the Betty Ford Center for addicts.
Just as bad, was Roger Clinton, who spent a year in prison after being convicted of trafficking cocaine.
Then there was Jenna Bush (while good ol' George was in office) who embarrassed her family and herself by appearing in court twice for underage drinking, using someone else's I.D.
And while we're there, let's not forget our President who has openly admitted in his memoirs that he has used marijuana and cocaine in the past.
THE White House was rocked yesterday by claims that the daughter of the Vice-President, Joe Biden, was caught on video snorting cocaine. The video purports to show Ashley Biden, 27, snorting lines of white powder at a house party in her home state of Delaware.
It surfaced days after Hillary Clinton, the US Secretary of State, declared that the US shared the blame for Mexico's violent drug wars. "Our insatiable demand for illegal drugs fuels the drug trade," Mrs Clinton said on a trip to Mexico.The video will embarrass Mr Biden, a teetotaller and outspoken anti-drug crusader who coined the term "drug czar" in 1982 while campaigning for tougher action against illegal drugs.
Certainly Princess Di found it horrendous and lamented often about the paparazzi that continuously followed her.
Film celebrities choose to be 'out there' and in my opinion, have no business crying over film crews and reporters. But this is not what happens with the children of politicians.
They are made famous by proxy and one has to wonder if the media attention overwhelms them into looking for ways to escape. Or are they offspring who just want to 'get back at Daddy' for some reason unknown to us?
The video was supposedly taken with Ashley's permission at a house party this month in Delaware - by a friend no less. Uhhh what were you thinking Ashley?
The video allegedly shows her seated at a computer desk, complaining that the lines of cocaine (a man made for her,) were not big enough. She then snorted 3 of the 5 lines through a rolled up dollar bill then lifted her head to wipe her nose.
Ashley seems as if she is going to be the proverbial 'wild child', with this offense not being her first. As a student in Tulane, she partied at a Chicago bar, getting herself into trouble and actually threw a can at a police officer.
At another point in the video, Ashley was alleged to have shouted "Shut the f*** up!"
Nice behavior indeed.
The fact that the New York Post won’t pay for the video doesn’t mean there isn’t a bidding war going on for it. The shooter initially tried to get $2 million for the video, but brought his price down to $400,000.
There are two publications that have offered around $225,000 for the video. Dunlap has said that the person who shot the video has known Ashley for a long time, has more videos of her and a lot more information about her. He has said that the higher the price paid, the more the video shooter will reveal. Nice folks, huh?"
Nice indeed. Needless to say, YouTube is a bust if you want to try and locate the video.

Give it up! If this was the Bush twins, it would be the lead story on every new show, front page of every newspaper, and a main story for US, People, Womans Day... Obama and Biden can do no wrong in the eyes of the media. Bush was the last capitalist president USA will ever see, unless we revolt. The annoying professional victims are now in charge and they are a fascist regime. There will be no bad press for Obama or Biden.
Unlike the fake bad news and fake scandals of the Bush administration. We are faced with real scandal and our way of life has never been in as much danger. The only way this will ever change is to have a real revolution. Wake up America!

Maybe it will be the lead story on every show once the actual video is released. Nothing like screaming "Weapons of Mass Destruction" only to have to figure out where they really are. Maybe America is awake and that's why we have the President that we do. Is this administration going to be perfect? Of course not. Was the last one?
