[NNN0LHI]

1. Don't be too hard on Laura

After all, your avatar, Frosty the Snowman, has a mad jones for tobacco, too.

:)

Smoke-free forever.

On Edit: Placed a comma. Just like Oscar Wilde.

3. She probably needs to find her own "go to" gal

Old dime bag Laura could probably use an altered state or two nowadays. And who could blame her? Her life has got to be a living hell.

4. According to a Springer radio show bumper, she does bong hits...

...in the basement of the WH. ;) :D

[jmm]

5. Compared to all the drugs her husband's done

that nothing.

6. Parliaments. Goes well with the chilled vodka.

This from an Inside The Whitehouse report:

SNIP

Later that day, an ultimatum would be delivered by a very close friend of the family to George H.W. Bush, Sr. A delegation of GOP luminaries would then be dispatched by the family patriarch to tell Vice President Cheney that he, too, will be resigning for health reasons.

That evening, there would be an intervention in the White House residence. Karen and Condi would be seated nearest to W, each holding the President's hand. Pickles would lock herself in her suite, pour herself chilled vodka out of a sterling tea decanter, and chain-smoke Parliaments, crushing the butts into an eggshell china saucer, the last piece of a set that had been given to President Thomas Jefferson by the First Ambassador from France.

After those nearest and dearest delivered the bad news that he would no longer be able to play President, W would begin to mutter, "It's just so hard. . . it's just so hard." His cheeks and nose would break out into reddish splotches, and his jaw would grind involuntarily. W would find himself again with an overwhelming desire for Scotch and some cocaine.

10. It's the who done it, not the what they did..

:D

8. These people look into their souls during a crisis

and see evil. Hence, the use of drugs. Hitler and the Third Reich did the same thing.

[Skittles]

11. that's a bit much

lots of people struggle with alcohol, nicotine, even over the counter drugs - it doesn't necessarily mean they are evil

9. She married the biggest dope in America...

Of course, America isn't that big.
