Still an Angel? (Ashley Smith was sainted by conservatives)

[kskiska]

Ashley Smith was sainted by conservatives for reading "The Purpose-Driven Life" to her captor. Now she admits to also giving him crystal meth.

"The only thing that helped Ashley Smith get through an over-seven-hour ordeal where quadruple-murder suspect Brian Nichols held her hostage was her faith in God," announced Fox News.

Her faith wasn't the only thing, as it turns out. This week, with the release of her memoir, "Unlikely Angel," Smith admits that she earned Nichols' confidence by offering him a dip into her stash of crystal methamphetamine. Nichols, Smith says in the book, didn't know what "ice" was, or how to take it. "You don't have to smoke it," she recalls telling him. "You can hot rail it or snort it." She cut it up for him herself, using a plastic supermarket card and a $20 bill. Smith didn't tell police investigators, or the media, about the meth until months later.

"I think God was in that apartment with them," said Rush Limbaugh during his March 14 radio broadcast. "I think God was in there and I think there's no question, you cannot dispute there was a bond. There was a bond between these two, but I think it's a mistake to think that it's the kind of bond that leads to conjugal love or a relationship or dating or anything like that. It's far above that. Far, far, far above that, folks."

But Smith's publishers don't seem to be giving her much help here, as the book, coauthored by a writer named Stacy Mattingly, seems to play up the sexual angle, and even exploit the age-old taboo of interracial sex. "He unbuttoned the blazer and took it off, hanging it on the left-hand post at the foot of my four-poster bed," it reads. "Glancing up at him without a shirt on, I thought, 'This guy is huge. I guess they really do work out in jail.' He looked like a linebacker. He didn't have an ounce of fat that I could see; he was cut everywhere. I looked away as he turned back to me."

1. Meth sends the libido into overdrive

If they were doing meth together, it's likely--if not probable--that they had sex as well.

5. She supposedly didn't do any meth.

7. yah right

She has admitted that at the time she was a constant 24/7 Meth user. That's why she was out late at night that night. She had it and apparently he did it. So an addict is in an extremely stressful situation, has the drug in possession, it is being used in front of her by a novice that needs assistance in using it but she didn't take any that night? So unbelievable it is laughable.

They may have had biblical conversations but I bet that they had biblical relations as well if the libido meth thing is true.

2. That story is getting creepier and creepier

Something about her didn't add up for me, from the very beginning. I wouldn't be surprised if it turns out they knew each other beforehand and the whole thing is a weird scam. Reminds me of the Wendy's chili finger lady...
