FOR BUSH BROTHERS, THE DRUG WAR HITS HOME
Late-night comedians have the drug hungers of Noelle Bush, daughter of
Florida Gov. Jeb Bush and niece of the nation's president, George W. Bush,
to kick around some more. But let's get serious for a moment.
Noelle, 25, needs help. She has, in the parlance of these times, "issues."
She was found with crack cocaine in her shoe on Sept. 9 at a drug treatment
center in Orlando where she was in a court-ordered drug rehabilitation
program. You know somebody's got a S-E-R-I-O-U-S drug problem when they get
caught with illicit drugs while in rehab.
But we already knew Noelle's problem was serious when she spent three days
in jail back in July for contempt of court after she was found with
prescription pills that did not belong to her. They belonged to a treatment
center worker, according to news reports, and had been taken from a cabinet.
