ENTERTAINMENT LAWYER 12/04 **13**

It is not really discussed, but anyone can find out that this female offspring (Ashley Biden) of a permanent A Lister (Joe Biden) who would love to be a permanent A++ lister (President) has a history of substance abuse problems. The thing is, she keeps her head down, so people don’t really talk about. This is not something that was confined to youthful indiscretions, but it has not been a big deal. It was not even on my radar at all, or something I cared about until I was given a little heads up about some behind the scenes drama involving The House On St. Charles. What happened is not recent, but what did happen, and whether it will make it into the open is being hotly debated and involves. The people running the House have a long history of putting people in compromising positions. They used the location of the house and what the city has to offer, to help make that happen. They were always looking for an angle. The angle didn’t have to be right away. They were willing to wait things out until an opportune time. A couple of decades ago, the people running the House identified someone they wanted to have in their pocket. It is the female offspring mentioned in the first sentence. They knew she loved to party, and they knew she loved not only pot, but things much stronger. Our offspring had a bad experience early on in her drug purchasing life (1999 marijuana arrest in New Orleans), and was grateful for these people who seemingly showed up at every party she attended and always had a ready supply of coke for her to enjoy and never asked for payment. Of course, she didn’t know she was being filmed. It was a lesson she would repeat in the future, but that is for another day. So, time goes by and one night, our offspring is at a party out of town, but her drug suppliers are right there waiting. Other people were waiting too. A bunch of undercover police types with wires in their ears (Secret Service). They weren’t there for the drug suppliers but were there for two other guests at the party (The Bush twins, Jenna and Barbara). Much bigger fish in the party pond. Huge fish in the party pond, and they liked to party. They also knew the offspring and knew how to ditch the people watching them. The next thing you know the suppliers are making all three of the party goers very happy and it is all being recorded. Every last bit. It wasn’t long before all three of our party-goers were wasted on coke and booze and, did I tell you they were all underage too? Yeah. The night ended and nothing was done by the people who controlled the House. Things just proceeded, and they filed that little nugget away in case they needed it. Now, these obviously were not all the nuggets they had, but for the purposes of this blind, they are certainly the most interesting. It took a whole lot of nuggets to make the exchange happen. An exchange makes it seem like a prisoner exchange. It was not really that. Fast-forward nine or ten months after the party night. Something horrific happened inside the country (September 11, 2001 attacks). Everyone knew who was responsible and almost immediately the richest of the rich from that country (Saudi Arabia) who were inside the US were put under protection so nothing would happen to them and then over the course of 48 hours managed to make use of their nuggets to ensure 140+ people could leave the country (Bin Laden), and not only leave, but leave with the blessing of the only person in the country who could allow it to happen (U.S. President George W. Bush). A person who was confronted with some party nuggets. Someone on the opposite side was also confronted with a party nugget and more, but this is about the party nugget. There were so many pieces of information collected about so many people in power, that no one raised a fuss. No one questioned the decision. The thing is though, none of these nuggets are only used once. They are used as often as it takes to accomplish what is needed. (“Friend” of Biden’s daughter shopping tape of her allegedly doing cocaine) (Ashley Biden’s past is full of weed and wild parties) (Appeal for Privacy After Bush Twins Are Cited for Alcohol) (Bin Laden Family Evacuated) (Saudi government allegedly funded a ‘dry run’ for 9/11) (CIA and Saudi Arabia conspired to keep 9/11 details secret, new book says)
