Current Affairs [Thursday, November 21, 2013]
"So...this Tea Party Republican House member admitted to using cocaine yesterday after being arrested by the feds for possession and is now taking a 'leave of absence' while, presumably, the GOP goes out to find walls to beat their heads into. Now various people fall into drug addiction, and I'm not slagging on that," Josh said, "but what makes this one art is his vote earlier in the year to require that people applying for food stamps pass a drug test." He smiled and took a sip of coffee. "I love the smell of hypocrisy in the morning."
He leaned back against his desk. "This all pales in comparison to the current mayor of Toronto, who admitted to using crack, but, he says, only because he was really, really drunk at the time. Neither of these guys are resigning, and that's where my question comes in. It's illegal to use cocaine and these guys are in government, sworn to uphold the law. Shouldn't they be in jail like, you know, normal people who get caught doing drugs?"
