I remember back to the first OJ trial (the second one was a kangaroo court meant to make up for the disastrous first one) when — not a single person — witnesses, lawyers, or even judges mentioned the role cocaine played in OJ\’s life; and, in the murders of his wife and Ron Goldman. There was plenty of testimony about having had too many margaritas — but no mention of the white stuff…too many margaritas didn\’t have Nicole running around naked on the estate grounds.
Legend has it that OJ snorted coke with everyone — from presidents, to athletes, to lawyers, and yes — with judges. From the late 70s into the mid 80s it seemed that everyone was doing the stuff — except me. I never got a kick from cocaine — and you can ask some very reputable dealers (if they are still alive and still in the business) if you don\’t believe me.
I kind of lost track of who was or wasn\’t doing cocaine circa 1986 — and actually didn\’t think about it again until I started writing about the fellow in the White House — and musing about whether he does or doesn\’t. He wouldn\’t be the first president to enjoy the white stuff — as Obama, Dubya and Slick Willie have also enjoyed it at one time or another. And certainly the Juice was still enjoying it into the 90s (former president of \’Honeybaked Hams\’?).
And like the OJ murders and that first trial — I think the unspoken white stuff played a role in many of these sexual harassment cases we are hearing about. I mean, if Al Franken made it through his comic career without doing it — he\’s even better than I thought!
Regular coke users would tell me that coke makes you feel potent, exhilarated, and horny! The guys would say that giving a woman coke was a sure way of getting laid…more \”sure\” than wine! But it was also quite-a-bit-more-expensive than wine, and, never having had the excess money to woo women with cocaine — I can\’t personally report on its effects. I do remember a lady once telling me that we couldn\’t have sex because I was not high on cocaine (I\’m still not sure what that meant?).
So now I wonder if the women who are complaining about sexual harassment were like me: they never used it because they didn\’t like it. That would go a-long-way in explaining why they were upset by unwanted advances and why the Powermen — whose blue balls were unrequited — were forced to masturbate (because a coke-snorting girl would have joined the game much earlier in the proceedings).
Now ol\’ Pumpkinhead has suggested that you only need money and fame to \”cop a feel\” — and that may be true for him. But with many-of-the-other-accused, there is, again, no mention of the role the white stuff plays in getting men to act ridiculous — or women to place themselves in compromising and/or vulnerable positions.
