Speaking of American consumption of marijuana and cocaine….
Barney Frank, the loathsome ex-rep from Massachusetts whose face (like Harry Reid’s) is fixed in a scowl suggesting cheap dentures, reminds me of how our permanent political class has exempted itself from most of the laws the rest of us must obey.
Not only do they practice free insider-trading on the legislation they pass, while the likes of Martha Stewart wind up in prison for it, but Barney’s drug dalliance could (and has) sent many of us to jail and subsequently prison. Think of all the young college football players arrested for smoking pot.
Barney does it (well, he admits to doing it once) in baked brownies. How charming. And, of course Barry (thanks to a recent biographer) is now renowned as a pot and cocaine user in high school and college, which has to make you wonder if he’s still tokin’ and snortin’ in the White House.
Barney’s in favor of legalizing marijuana, and that’s probably the only thing he and I agree on. But, meanwhile, how about we make all of them pee in the cup like so many Americans have to do? I know, I know. They make the laws and they wouldn’t pass that one. They aren’t that honest. But we can hold their feet to the fire.
