The Audacity of Dope

The Clinton campaign is pulling an audacious move in New Hampshire, trying to use Barack Obama's (non-controversial) admission of past drug use as an electoral wedge, threatening that Republicans will manage to turn it into an issue. Yeah, sure, whatever.

Your husband may or may not have inhaled (it probably depends on the definition of 'did'), but don't go thinking that we're all drinking the Clinton Kool-Aid, Hillary.

Here's the reality: according to polling data, as of 2002, roughly half of Americans had smoked pot at some point (and nearly all of them inhaled). I wouldn't be surprised if we find out that virtually all of the serious contenders in both parties have experimented at one point or another. At least Barack Obama is being honest and human. If Hillary Clinton's campaign thinks either of those attributes is a negative, they should be more open about that fact.
