Bush Cancels Event After Ledger's Death

Bush Cancels Event After Ledger's Death
01-23 - sfgate.com

The death of Heath Ledger prompted the White House to postpone President Bush's event Wednesday promoting an ad campaign aimed at preventing prescription drug abuse.

Ledger, 28, who was nominated for an Oscar for "Brokeback Mountain," was found dead Tuesday in his New York apartment. There were sleeping pills near him, but the cause of his death remains under investigation.

The president was to make a statement in the Roosevelt Room on the Office of National Drug Control Policy's television advertisement about preventing prescription drug abuse. A federally financed study released in December at the White House showed illicit drug use by teens continued to gradually decline overall this year, but the use of prescription painkillers remained popular among young people.

White House press secretary Dana Perino said Bush's event had been scheduled for a while.

"We thought it would be better to postpone the event rather than run the risk of anyone thinking that we were being opportunistic in highlighting the issue," she said.

They highlighted it more by canceling. Fail.

So I guess you knew him on a personal level then, huh?

You seem to know so much about him.

You seem to be pretty judgemental, bodynotdead, for someone who is posting on a forum about drugs.
Unless you knew him personally, you really can't talk shit dude. You shouldn't be so quick to judge, especially if you do drugs yourself.

Some guy dabbled with too much opiates/benzos, and they're using it as an excuse to cancel his meeting?

I guess it's better than "Bush can't make the meeting, because he didn't tidy up his toys, and has to spend time in the naughty chair."

Apparently he had a prescription for the pills and severe insomnia and anxiety. It may be a sign that people are dangerously overmedicated, but Ledger probobly isn't the poster child for pharmaceutical abuse.

Yep. He also doesn't know how to spell reading.

If the event had actually taken place, would anyone had even noticed?  What, do Bush and his cohorts owe some kind of respect to a Hollywood OD case?  I guess they've got to respect somebody, and if it isn't going to be the American people, then who?  Bush's late-teenage heartthrob, aww!

:laugh:
