Quote Unquote: White Powder in the White House

David Cross on doing cocaine in the White House a few years back…
.

"The jolt was similar to licking an empty espresso cup. It wasn't about that. It was just about being able to say that I did it, that I did cocaine in the same room as the president."

Stephen Colbert on Barack Obama's Singing and the U.N.'s Cocaine

Like Barack Obama singing Al Green's "Let's Stay Together," which not only bodes well for his re-election prospects among voters who haven't completely died on the inside, but which also reminds a certain blogger of Bruce Willis' first scene in Pulp Fiction, which, all things considered, was too scary a movie for that certain blogger at such a young age — seriously, what was up with the Gimp? Also dolphins are helping us fight Iran and the United Nations is full of cocaine. Be afraid!
