If Bush is elected he'll be the fourth criminal in the White House in a row

Thanks to our drug laws, if Jeb Bush is elected president he would be our fourth criminal [albeit all unprosecutred] - to occupy the White House. Jeb Bush has admitted that " I smoked marijuana when I was at Andover."

We even have a photo of Obama smoking. As for George Bush, he once said, "I wouldn’t answer the marijuana questions. You know why? Because I don’t want some little kid doing what I tried.”

And, of course, there was cocaine user Bill Clinton who was elected pesident one year after DC Mayor Marion Barry went to prison for using the same substance.

All four were entitled to, but avoided, a jail sentence and the media covers the drug story like it never happened.

Hillary Clinton apparently never used illegal drugs although she did play around with things like excessive cough medicine and so forth.

Here, according to Wikipedia, are some other pols who did mess with marijuana and remained on the loose:
