What would an election year be without some high-grade (snark) hypocrisy about marijuana use?
From MPP's Bruce Mirken:
McCain’s VP Pick Acknowledged Marijuana Use
On Aug. 6, 2006, the Anchorage Daily News reported:
Palin said she has smoked marijuana — remember, it was legal under state law, she said, even if illegal under U.S. law — but says she didn’t like it and doesn’t smoke it now.
‘I can’t claim a Bill Clinton and say that I never inhaled.’
The paper quoted Palin as saying she opposed legalization of marijuana because of the "message" that would be sent to her children.
I know, you're all in shock that another politician admits using marijuana, but says they think it should still be illegal "for the children."
Pelosi, Biden, and Massachusetts decrim below the fold.
