1. This was pot, not speed. I'd think it would slow him down.

Besides the potus smoked quite a bit of pot in his high school days. It's all there in his autobiography. Legalize the stuff already and tax the crap out of it.

[thincaboutit]

6. They're all in the video...

Bush, Bill, and Barrack. Wow, man, that's three B's in a row. And Bong starts with B. Freaky...

[thincaboutit]

11. Maybe...

he smokes before he swims, then he gets the munchies and swims REALLY fast so he can eat something sooner!!

[Chisox08]

17. That would stimulate the economy

[thincaboutit]

21. Whatever it takes!!!

[bdamomma]

2. that's our priorities go after an Olympic champion while

people like Bush and Cheney are walking around free, what total BS!!

[thincaboutit]

36. They should've smoked more weed!!!

[Touchdown]

3. Damn! I wanted to see him naked in a hot tub.

:(

[thincaboutit]

4. T M I !!! (LOL)

[salguine]

7. I, myself, do not.

[thincaboutit]

35. With that Speedo he wears...

...it shouldn't take too much imagination...

[Wapsie B]

5. Yeah this is a non-story to me.

Now if someone would've videoed some of the sex parties at the Olympics I'd say that would be newsworthy. Rather than painting one person as immoral (his sponsors certainly must have to drop him like a hot potato) the entire event would be seen in a whole new light. That's not something the Olympic gods would take kindly to. To me that merits a headline or two.

[thincaboutit]

8. Agreed...

That was kina the pint of the video. To make light of it. Check out my blog to see my take on it. parodyandson.blogspot.com
Not sure what the big deal is, other than having some fun with it.

9. I'm sorry but I disagree.

I almost called my local sports talk jock about this the other day.

He's a big time right winger constantly interjecting his politics into sports. So last thursday he's throwing a fit over 'the media hounding Michael Phelps and ruining his career'. It was the usual two faced hypocritical bullshit. "Hey it's Michael Phelps," "It's only pot."

It's always the same shit. When its a friend or a relative, when its someone you know or a star athlete then it's no big deal, 'it's only pot'. When it's someone you don't know and don't give a damn about then it's against the law and tough cheese for him.

As long as it's against the law then hang Michael Phelps the same as any regular Joe Blow. And if people don't like it then change the fucking law.

[thincaboutit]

10. The problem here is...

...the only "evidence" they have is a picture. That's usually not enough in marijuana cases. How doe we know what was in the bong. There is usually pocession involved.

[Ganja Ninja]

12. Whether there's a case against him or not is one thing.

That's not the point.

I'm just sick of society's duality when it comes to the gravity of Marijuana laws. We're all suppose to be equal under the law. If it's no big deal in Michael Phelps case then it should be no big deal period, no matter who's involved. But somehow even the anti drug crowd can always blow off an offense if they want to. The whole 'blame the media' for Phelps troubles angle just pissed me off. It's not the media that's the problem. It's the ridiculous law that's the problem.

[polmaven]

23. Well, there is also his admission...

and apology. We know it was pot because he admitted it. A public admission could probably be considered to be evidence.

[thincaboutit]

29. You may have a point there...

Good thing I'm not a lawyer!!!

[cbc5g]

13. Getting high isn't "a mistake"

[thincaboutit]

14. No...getting CAUGHT is...

[OmmmSweetOmmm]

15. And getting caught shouldn't be a mistake. Pot should be legalized.

[thincaboutit]

16. Touche!!

[demokatgurrl]

18. Why is it a "mistake"?

The only mistake I see is not being smart enough to know who his "friends" are who would photograph him and sell the photo.

[Butch350]

19. Right Answer!

[thincaboutit]

20. Agreed...

[Blue_In_AK]

27. I didn't see your post, but I said the same thing below.

The marijuana prohibition in this country is just idiotic.

[Dukkha]

22. No, He's in Bong Water

:smoke:

[Deja Q]

24. He's 23. A LEGAL adult. What next, saying David Vitter is a baby and should wear diapers?

Whoops, bad example...

[.... callchet ....]

25. Make pot smoking mandatory training for USA Olympic Athletes.

Look what it did for Phelps. Most Gold Ever. Don't even joke about taking his pot away.

[Blue_In_AK]

26. I don't even call it a mistake,

at least not the pot-smoking. The mistake was letting the media get hold of the photo.

[Skittles]

28. he's a kid? I had done four years in the military when I was his age

but I agree about the pot thing - I don't friggin' care if he smokes pot

[NoSheep]

30. Now Let's deny it!!! Let's pretend great athletes could not possibly smoke pot!!!

Otherwise how could they be great athletes??? Cancel the contracts! Let them eat cereal!! Denial Denial Denial

[thincaboutit]

31. Nothing like a little pot talk...

...to get DUers going!!!

[Matariki]

32. It probably wasn't a mistake.

I don't think it was a mistake anyway. I wish he could just say 'big deal' and not ruin his career.

[chollybocker]

33. At least he didn't cheat, like a-roid.

[thincaboutit]

34. You mean like half od the league!!!
