Wonder how many times he was high while working for her?

This makes Barbara Boxer's opposition to Prop 19 all the more hypocritical.

But hypocrisy is what politics (in both parties) are all about. One standard for them, another standard for the rest of us.

Good.

Maybe it'll lead to her leading the charge for legalization.

Its high time to face reality, and just legalize and tax the damn thing already!!

You know, these threads always end up badly. Some "lib" will dig up a similar story about a Republican, and everyone will cry, "s/he did it too", and "that's different" all the way home.

I don't think he is guilty by association. I think he was bringing his boss something the "madame" requested. She's too elitist to buy her own drugs...go send an aid to do it. On the otherhand, maybe it was his. Who can blame the guy for NEEDING to be high to work for Boxer?

No doubt I am sure there is a republican doing something stupid also

Does that excuse the democrats though?

Shouldnt at some point and time people stop that republicans or democrats did it also and just condemn the actions and demand it stop no matter what party it is even if its your own.

To me this is more about why is someone that is on the tax payers payroll trying to sneak in pot?

I more so question if they are getting high while doing the peoples business. I dont care what political party they are in. Whoda thunk? I thunk that if our employees are getting high while doing our business we have a problem

Outside of Boxer's stupid, but I guess she feels politically expedient, opposition to the pot initiative, what's to condemn?

It should be legal anyway.

Of all the crap that's been posted here, I think this post takes the prize. Breathtaking.

How about we just condemn the actions of the individual and not turn the actions of that one person into a political attack against that person's boss?

This is just unbelievably absurd.
