Joe Biden: “I'm comfortable with legalizing marijuana”
5/7/2012 9:20 AM Matt Rock -
Just 24 hours after having sparked a controversy by admitting that he's “comfortable” with marriage equality, Vice President Joe Biden is pulling his shoe out of his mouth yet again, after sparking something else entirely... admitting to PTP during an interview this morning that he's also okay with legalizing marijuana for recreational use.
“I am absolutely comfortable with people smoking marijuana, either for medical purposes, in the name of science, or just for funsies. We don't have laws against people smoking cigarettes, yet, and we haven't outlawed alcohol, not lately anyway. So I don't see the problem with a group of people sitting around in their house smoking ganja and listening to The Beastie Boys' `Paul's Boutique.' I don't have a problem with gays or lesbians smoking pot and then getting married, either.”
We asked Mr. Biden what the White House might say about his endorsement. “Look, the right says we're the most radical leftist, socialist administration in history, right? But everyone with a brain between their ears knows that at best, we've governed from the center-right, even with Obamacare, which started out as Republican ideas and bolsters the private sector more than it grows `big government.' So if they're going to say we're a hard-left administration, I figure we should at least cash in on some of that.”
Biden says he plans on supporting a new left-wing ideal every day until the election, or until he runs out of ideas. “Real universal health care under a single-payer system, where if you can prove you're a US citizen, you get free health care, that'll be tomorrow. Then for Wednesday, I'm thinking of announcing a new White House initiative where the federal government would pay for, or at least subsidize through the tax code, the installation of solar panels on the roofs of every American household and apartment building, conserving energy while sticking it to monopolizing electric companies. Why not? Screw it!” - Return to Previous Page
