Shot In The Dark: Wilde Weasel

Wilde Weasel

Chad the Elder catches Wendy Wilde - former WCCO and FrankenNet Minnesota "personality" - in a lie.

Not a corrosive, Goebbels-level lie like Patty Wetterling's, but a lie nonetheless. Wilde, who is running for Congress against Jim Ramstad, claimed in a Strib interview to have been to Amsterdam, and that "she didn't remember smoking the drug, but acknowledged she may have tried it there".

Chad found the goods on a local forum.

I, for one, am ambivalent about the "war on drugs", which has killed more Americans than Vietnam or, as it happens, drugs themselves.

But for heaven's sake, if you went to Holland and drank the bong water, be friggin' honest.

I agree that Marijuana should be legal, I don't smoke it but others should be able to if they feel the need.

I just picked up a book on the damages of the drug war. With law enforcement stretched as it is, we could save a ton of time and trouble by legalizing dope.

Mitch, Mitch, Mitch...We're talkin' Dumocrap here...she may have "smoked", but that doesn't mean she inhaled.

It all depends on how you define "drawing euphoria inducing smoke into the lungs and holding it there".

Once again, it's not the act that damns them, it's the blatent lie.

Having actually listened to Wendy, I can say honestly "Bogart that joint, Wendy! You have already lost whatever grasp you had on reality, you may as well feel good about it".
