First on CNN: Chong wants Sanders for next 'commander in kush'(video at link)
http://www.cnn.com/2016/01/29/politics/tommy-chong-bernie-sanders-marijuana/index.htmlTommy Chong loves Bernie Sanders, and he describes that affection for the insurgent candidate in a way only Tommy Chong can.
"Bernie's like a kush, like the best kind of weed you can get, because he's the answer to all our problems," Chong told CNN this week.
To prove it, he's releasing a public service announcement supporting Sanders for president rife with the tongue-in-cheek marijuana jokes that ran throughout the "Cheech and Chong" comedies of the late '70s.

"To me, Bernie seems more suited for the country," Chong said. "There was some writer from the Washington Post who said that Bernie would be a disaster because he's a socialist. Well, people don't realize that ... in the last eight years, socialism is not a dirty word anymore."
