Rep. Trey Radel, a Florida Republican elected in 2012, will be in court Wednesday on charges that he possessed cocaine. Radel, 37, was charged with misdemeanor possession of cocaine in D.C. Superior Court on Tuesday.

"The Associated Press, citing an unnamed DEA official, said Radel allegedly bought cocaine from a dealer in the Dupont Circle area who had been previously arrested as part of a federal probe..."


So, listen buddy. We know the convention is for us to get you to name your sources. But this time we're taking a cue from those Canadians. Yeah - the 24 officers, helicopters, detectives on a POT bust. Yeah, pot. It's actually legal up there. So: We need you - yes I know it sounds crazy - we need you to narc on one of your buyers. Just a buyer, just one. Dig? And we think you know who it is. Hmm? We're looking at total cooperation, total walk. Can you do it, brotha?

I say STAY. Yeah, stay.

We put up with murderous gay Muslim commies. So stay.

This is nothing. Our people are sooo desperate to make the grand show of offing our own who faultered. Its stupid and a basic inability to understand this is total political war.

You think the libs would do this? Bill and Monica had ORAL-ANAL SEX. Look it up, its in the footnotes of the Starr report.

The libs pretend to be pissed about this cuz they know they can count on retarded show off consevatives to chop off the guys head FOR THEM.

FRIGGIN RETARDS.

One thing you won’t see in articles covering his arrest: the Congressman is a former TV news anchor. Funny how that little fact is omitted. After all, journalists, past and present, don’t have drug problems.

Here’s a paragraph from the USA Today story: “Radel is a former radio host, TV reporter and newspaper owner who was swept into office with Tea Party support. He was born and raised in Cincinnati, where his family owned a funeral home company.”

The liberal mainstream media is mentioning it because it ties Radel to conservative talk radio.

I certainly do not condone drug use/abuse. I was a teenager in the ‘60s and I wasn’t in the drug scene then and never did do drugs. I was well into my adult years before I knew what pot smelled like. HAVING SAID THAT..... what Congressman Radel did is inexcusable, BUT, it does not offend me as badly as some guy who is screwing around on his wife with a staffer, having sex with a male page or getting oral sex from a little girl in the oval office. Morally, Adultery and Fornication trumps a dude getting high. Only difference: Adultery and Fornication is not against the Law.

Radel bought 3.5 grams, AKA an 8 ball, one eighth of an ounce of cocaine.

Hardly an amount to be consumed by oneself on a drunken whim.

We don’t know who he partied with that night. I knew a few drunken cokeheads back in the day. They slept with anybody (everybody).
