Allegations that George W. Bush snorted cocaine at Camp David while Poppy Bush was in the White House are in Kitty Kelley's new book, "The Family: The Real Story of the Bush Dynasty," according to a British tabloid.
The celebrity biographer quotes the President's former sister-in-law, Sharon Bush saying, "Bush did coke at Camp David when his father was President, and not just once either," Sharon Churcher first reported in the Mail on Sunday. Kelley also writes that former First Lady Barbara Bush smoked pot while at Southern Methodist University, the Mail noted.
Asked in 1999 about any past drug use, President Bush said: "I have made mistakes."
Yesterday, White House spokeswoman Claire Buchan told us: "We haven't seen the book, but based on reports, it's obvious that it's filled with garbage that has been discredited, disavowed and dismissed years ago."
Sharon Bush, who recently divorced the President's younger brother Neil and is the mother of model Lauren Bush, did not return our call, and Kelley could not be reached.
Doubleday spokesman David Drake told us, "The book has been embargoed until Tuesday, at which time readers will be able to decide for themselves."
