With the female equivilent of "Bubba." I can hear it now, "Stop whining you spoiled little shit, lick until I tell you to stop, ah yea, that's it, bitch!"
ORLANDO, Fla. (AP) - Gov. Jeb Bush's daughter was sentenced to 10 days in jail and led away in handcuffs Thursday after being accused of having crack cocaine in her shoe while in drug rehab.
Noelle Bush, 25, kissed her aunt Dorothy Koch as a sheriff's deputy cuffed her behind the back. Koch is the sister of President Bush and the governor, who was not in court.
In a statement, the governor said he realizes that his daughter must face the consequences of her actions.
"Every parent of a child with an addiction understands that the long road to recovery is never easy and that there are numerous challenges along the way," he said. "This is a very difficult time for all of us ... and I pray every day our beautiful daughter will once again know a life free from the horrors of substance abuse."
Circuit Judge Reginald Whitehead did not specify a reason for jailing Bush but told her he was aware of allegations she was found with crack. After she gets out of jail, she will go back to the drug treatment center.
Before being sentenced, she told the judge: "I sincerely apologize for what happened and promise to do well at the Center for Drug-Free Living."
The president's niece has been undergoing drug treatment in Orlando since February, after she accused of trying to use a forged prescription to buy the anti-anxiety drug Xanax at a pharmacy drive-through window.
In July, she went to jail for two days after she was caught with prescription pills at the rehab center.
Last month, police were called to the center after another patient reported that Bush had crack. But no charges were ever filed. Staff members refused to cooperate with police, citing federal privacy regulations, and a judge upheld the rehab center's position.
On Thursday, Whitehead told Bush that she could have faced felony drug charges if he had not decided to give her another chance.
"I want you to have some time to think and reflect on this," Whitehead said. "You should be disappointed that you let yourself down."
Equal justice under the law?
