The tape of Joe Biden's daughter snorting coke (allegedly) was "preplanned by a man trying to get rich selling the tape".
The Vice President has been one of this country's leading warriors in the fight against drugs and helped create the Drug Czar post. But scandal exploded around him in the past few days when RadarOnline.com uncovered that a man was hawking a tape that shows a cocaine-snorting woman who looks identical to Biden's 27-year-old daughter. The seller represented that the woman is Ashley Biden and hired a Washington, D.C. law firm to help him sell the tape.
Biden has not commented and his daughter has been unreachable.
RadarOnline.com viewed the tape but did not offer to purchase it. The man who made the tape shopped it to several media outlets but did not receive any written offers, we've learned.
Now, RadarOnline.com has discovered that the woman who is alleged to be Ashley Biden was set up in an elaborate plot by her "friend." The man bought cocaine and a hidden camera and brought the cocaine to a party.
He then made sure that he was in correct position to film her when she snorted the drugs.
How is this a "setup" exactly? Dictionary.com has "setup" defined like this:
a prearranged situation or circumstance, usually created to fool or trap someone; trick; scheme.
Here's my problem with Ms. Biden being portrayed as "setup". It makes her sound like an innocent pawn in some nefarious plot to get her. While it appears that the guy filming her was out to "get" her, no one held a gun to her head, and forced her to sniff a few lines of coke. In public. At a party. How was she "fooled"? How was she "trapped"? "Tricked"? She was merely put into a situation which she likely been in before, and acted as she has in the past. When the cops do an undercover operation to catch hookers or "John's", are those loosely called "setups"? No, they are called "stings". The use of the word "setup" makes Ms. Biden sound like a victim. Keep in mind, she used illegal drugs, at a party, in public. She knew what she was doing.
With Michael Phelps' recent brush with a cellphone camera, one would think that those in positions of celebrity would be more careful with their surroundings.
In fact, why isn't Phelps given the same "he was setup" excuse?
Just as I don't think that party was the first time Phelps had smoked weed, I don't think this is the first time Biden has used cocaine. Yet Phelps gets pilloried, and Biden walks, even though her drug of choice is far more dangerous.
For the record, I'm more Libertarian on the issue of drugs than I am Conservative. I don't care if you use drugs. Alcohol and prescription meds do just as much, if not more damage than the drugs Society deems illegal. If you are drunk or high, and you cause an injury, or get pulled over, you'll get prosecuted.
This episode is a great example of the double-standard that exists in the Media when it comes to the coverage provided Republicans and Democrats. I posted the other day on how the Media will cover this story. In the story linked today, they are ignoring the fact she was snorting coke, and have portrayed her as the "victim" of a "setup".
Phelps was a stand-up guy, made the morning show rounds, and took his lumps. I'mbetting Ashley Biden suddenly takes that safari trip through Africa she's always wanted to go on.
