Snorting Coke Near the President

How disrespectful to the office of the president.

Fact: David Cross once snorted cocaine at the White House Correspondents’ Dinner.

The actor confessed to the persistent rumor in an interview in the March issue of Playboy magazine, saying he pulled the stunt while sitting some 65 feet away from President Obama.

“It wasn’t even that much cocaine. It was literally the size of, I don’t know, a tick. It was a tiny granule of coke that I put on my wrist and said, ‘Watch this. I need a witness,’” Cross recalled.

“And then I ducked under the table and did it. It wasn’t like I got high,” he continued. “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.”

  1. Why is this story getting traction now? Cross has been talking about this for over a year.

    BTW, the link above goes an article about Doug LaFollette declaring his candidacy for WI governor.

  2. I did cocaine in the same room as the president.

    Just what everyone wishes he/she could say.  He must be very proud.

    I’ll respect the office when the occupant is worthy of respect.

  4. How is it disrepectful?  I mean the current holder of the office has admitted to doing coke and other drugs.  Granted that was when he was younger, but still.

  5. I think the only one disrespected in this story is the drug addict.  The fact that he thought there would be some “coolness factor” by who is in the room during the act just reinforces it.  David Cross is just a giant douche.

  6. How’s it disrespectful? Is it disrespectful to have an extra glass of scotch at the table too?

  7. Yes to comment #3.  Can we get someone elected who respects the Constitution?

    Scotch is legal; cocaine is not.

    I can get behind this guy.  But then again, I could get behind any true libertarian.
