One Toke Over the Line, Gov Arnold
Arnold Schwarzenegger got into the kind of hot water that only happens when politicians accidentally speak their minds. The Gov was interviewed in a British magazine and when the topic of his past pot smoking came up he replied, "(It) is not a drug. It's a leaf." Check out the MSNBC hubbub here.
As indicated in the video link, word from Arnold's spokespeople is that it was 'a joke'. Uh sure, that or he just got caught being truthful and is now backpedalling like crazy. Reminds me of a recent airport bathroom sting involving a conservative Idaho Senator who merely has a 'wide stance' when using the toilet (and then reaches under the stall to touch his neighbor's hand and then peaks in on him over the stall expecting an invitation to visit more closely. . . but what guy has never done that?!!)
But I digress. I doubt that this will come back to bite Arnold the way Larry Craig's escapades took a chunk out of his behind. Even Uber-conservative fundamentalists (the few of them who aren't closeted gays) can see the difference here. Maybe.
