GASP! Somebody famous smoked some grass!

OMG! MSM talking about "forgiveness". FOR SMOKING GRASS!

1. Dear Lord.

This is getting ridiculous. I hope they mention that Abe Lincoln used to smoke weed and George Washington grew it in his garden. No? Figures. :eyes:

I think the MSM owes us all an apology for blowing this way out of proportion.

2. His _only_ transgression is straying outside the IOC's brand identity.

Which is to say, he's just like most of the rest of us.

5. The IOC does not consider pot a "performance-enhancing drug".

so no harm done there.

His sponsors, though, are another matter.

7. Looks like they're taking him at his word and supporting him,

which I think is a _very_ good thing (and very European of the IOC, in general). :thumbsup:
