Tommy Chong to Fox Hosts: Your Gruber Coverage Is ‘Like Benghazi All Over Again’
mediate ^ | Nov. 19, 2014 | Matt Wilstein

Tommy Chong, star of such films as Up in Smoke and until this week a contestant on ABC’s Dancing With the Stars, was the #OneLuckyGuy on Fox News’ Outnumbered (for some reason) Wednesday, and while he was there he weighed in on issues like marijuana legalization (naturally), health care, and immigration. But when the issue of Obamacare “architect” Jonathan Gruber’s controversial comments came up, Chong surprised the show’s co-hosts by comparing it to another hot topic on Fox: Benghazi.

Andrea Tantaros and Harris Faulkner were expressing outrage over Gruber’s comments and the Obama administration’s reaction to it when Chong decided instead to shift the focus over to Fox and its heavy coverage of the story.

“To me, it’s just another attack on Obamacare, from another angle,” Chong said. “Sounds like Benghazi all over again.”

He is right, it is not super important and worth 6 months of non-stop front page 24/7 coverage like Valery Plame or something

Have you really led such a sheltered life or are you just messing with me :-)

A stonerphobe is a made-up term for someone who "hates" marijuana smokers...

Sounds like Benghazi all over again

Exactly: another cover-up by a regime that the MSM is more than willing to accommodate.

#15: You haven’t missed much. His daughter is pretty, though. Wonder if he even knows he has a daughter. Wonder if he even knows what country he is in. Oh the questions could go on for hours.

Maybe Tommy Chong can make a new movie about a Benghazi, entitled “Up in Smoke”. In doing so, he might learn something about the world outside his purple haze.

#22: Not nice to ask Tommy Chong so hard a question such as “what is your name”. Remember, he went to public school, if he went to school at all.

However, it might be tattooed on his ass. On second thought, I don’t want to know as I have to eat dinner tonight.

Fox is a stupid channel now, with their constant push to entertainment and feminism. Tommy Chong? Really?
