Before anyone blasts Phelps for taking a bong hit, remember Sarah Palin admitted to smoking pot in the past.
Politicians should be tested more so than athletes. Of the two, pols performances affect me the most.
I fail to see a connection.
Personally, I don't care if the Phelps character lives or dies or smokes pot or chases hookers; I simply don't care one way or the other what he does, as he has absolutely no relevance to anything I do in my life, but I fail to see any connection between what he does and what Sarah Palin did or did not do.
I cannot understand those people that attempt to justify the actions of one by citing the actions of another, especially if either of them are held up, rightly or wrongly, as a paragon of virtue.
Essentially, what you are implying, is that if Sarah Palin has smoked pot, then it's okay if this Phelps person smokes pot.
Well I hope that the IOC takes away HER gold medals for swimming too!
