The Wead Tapes

As most of the media is focusing on Bush's so called admission of marijuana use, one of the most telling sound bites on the Wead tapes is this:

"I'm going to tell them the five turning points in my life:"

"Accepting Christ. Marrying my wife. Having children. Running for governor. And listening to my mother."

Are these tapes damaging. Possibly. The media will focus on him indirectly admitting he used marijuana. The fact that in idle conversation he recognizes accepting Christ as a unorthodox admission, particular in politics, and still publicly talks about prayer and Jesus Christ in his life speaks much more about his character.

On a side note, I think this is more of a stunt of someone trying to sell a book. Although there may be some attention on the book, I think there will be a backlash.
