Laura Bush was recently in my neighborhood for a school event. And the word from folks who attended the event was that the First Lady is a chain smoker. I was curious -- has anyone else heard this anywhere? I'm a former smoker. This is not meant as an anti-smoking witch-hunt. But just from the media whitewash of the thing, it would be remarkable to me if America's Librarian was actually hanging out back behind the White House smoking Parliaments, making light chat chit re the benefits of recessed filters.
Can anybody else confirm or deny? And really, what did the president know about his wife's addicition and when did he know it?
