Has Anyone Ever Asked Hillary If She Smoked Pot?

[THUNDER HANDS]

If they haven't yet, do you think she'd put out Bill's line about not inhaling?

[Captain Hilts]

1. I'd actually believe her if she said 'no'. nt

[BleedingHeartPatriot]

11. I must agree wholeheartedly.

:toast: MKJ

on edit, not to suggest she didn't do a little consciousness altering reconnaissance work, and probably had laugh or two along the way. :-) MKJ

[wildhorses]

2. define 'inhaled'

;)

[Ellen Forradalom]

3. Take a look at her

She is way too square for that stuff. I mean c'mon she was a teenage Goldwater Republican.

[wildhorses]

5. are you judging a book by its cover?

:shrug:

[Hardrada]

9. So was my wife.

And also a DAR member (enrolled by her mom). I like to think I had a politically progressive effect on her but she moved Left on a lot of issues on her own initiative.

[ElizabethDC]

4. I don't think she's been asked.

Is that a question they even ask anymore?

However, I read a biography about her in which a college boyfriend of hers claims they smoked pot together.

[Redneck Socialist]

6. Does anyone care? n/t

[zulchzulu]

7. I'm sure she tried it at some point, like 90% of the rest of us

Did she ever use a bong with ice cubes...that would be a good question.

:rofl:

[JDPriestly]

8. Not Hillary.

I bet her honest answer is "No."

[aquart]

20. And yet, so many of us didn't. Didn't smoke tobacco, didn't smoke pot.

90%, my ass.

[ieoeja]

41. I didn't, but I'd say 90% is a pretty close estimate.

Personally I do not know anyone between the ages of 36 and 50, besides myself, who hasn't smoked pot. I'm sure there are more of us out there. But the percentage is pretty tiny.

[TransitJohn]

43. Snow bongs!!!!!

God I love freshly fallen powder on the ground in the morning--the ultimate wake'n'bake!!

[jose1701]

10. Is that an issue anymore?

Doesn't everybody admit to that now? Bush did cocaine for christ sake.

[BleedingHeartPatriot]

12. But please don't mention that because his daughters don't know.

And, as a parent, it's important to hide your life lessons from your kids. MKJ

[ellisonz]

25. Not only did he do coke...he was likely an addict for several periods.

He was also an alcoholic.

Kids, do the right drugs.

Welcome to DU!

:toast: :smoke: :donut: :hangover: :sarcasm:

[mentalsolstice]

30. Was an addict? Was an alcoholic?

Try "is". :smoke:

[ellisonz]

35. Meth? Hitler's drug of choice. I don't think its the herb.

Put on the Marley, mon.

[onenote]

13. don't know. have the other candidates been asked? what was their answer?

[WorseBeforeBetter]

14. Maybe there will be another lame "raise your hand" question...

at the next debate. "Debate." Ha.

[quinnox]

15. I'm sure she has

She probably did other things too in her teenage years that were not straight laced, but I don't think she would be asked these questions because it would be rude and considered an inappropriate question by any self-respecting journalist!

Hillary is now a mature woman and she has left all the youthful indiscretions behind her as she rises to near greatness.

[Pastiche423]

22. Uh...

Have you ever smoked marijuana, was asked of all of the Dem candidates during a debate in the 03/04 campaign.

[Phredicles]

16. I'm not a Hillary fan, but who the hell cares?

[emilyg]

18. Exactly.

[rucky]

19. and the people who would care wouldn't vote for her anyways...

because she's Hillary Clinton.

[Catherine Vincent]

17. She probably didn't.

She seemed like a goody two shoes to me. :)

[rucky]

21. I was going to ask her, but I never exhaled. n/t

[LaPera]

23. Hope she has...nothing wrong with it...a hundred times better

than the killer alcohol, cigarettes, pharmaceuticals, food additives, pesticides and hard drugs, (even caffeine).

Fine organic pot is not addictive and much more enlightening, safe (and fun)!

[MonkeyFunk]

24. Who cares?

Is this really a concern of yours?

[TexasProgresive]

26. I second WHO CARES?-

With Snowblower in chief in the White House who cares whether anyone smoked a little pot?

[THUNDER HANDS]

27. i think it would be an interesting answer

because I believe Edwards admitted to it, and Obama has admitted to doing cocaine, but her husband had that famous line about not inhaling. I'm curious about whether she would give a straight answer on that.

[RebelOne]

32. I third WHO CARES. It's not important.

I think just about everyone at least once in their life has tried pot.

[rodeodance]

28. America does not need those small minded questions--Stick to the issues

[oasis]

29. She'd surely use the same line as Bill since he never caught any flack(sic) about it.

:sarcasm:

[Arkansas Granny]

31. Who cares. I don't think it matters one way or another or that

anyone would change their opinion of her based on that fact alone.

[Forkboy]

33. Has anyone asked Obama?

:shrug:

[polichick]

44. If I remember correctly, someone did ask him...

...and he said yes, no bones about it.

Here it is ~ great answer! <http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cpBzQI_7ez8>

[Forkboy]

45. No "bones" about it?

:hippie:

[polichick]

46. Lol...

I just added the YouTube link to my last post ~ check it out!

(no bones means no problem ~ old expression)

[ElizabethDC]

47. Thanks for posting that

"I inhaled . . . frequently. That was the point." :rofl:

[Forkboy]

52. LOL...great answer.

That was refreshingly honest. :)

[Stinky The Clown]

34. Were she to say 'no', I'd accept that ....

She and I are the same age. I smoked pot exactly twice in my life. I inhaled and I got high both times. That's it. To think someone did it less than me is perfectly believable.

I now favor its legalization, but for me it holds no particular appeal.

[THUNDER HANDS]

36. for those who say WHO CARES...

I'd like to point out that marijuana use is still illegal, and that the question of whether or not the candidates have used it refelcts upon the state of mind that says 'I did it, but if you do it I'll lock you up.' Or, at the very least, won't do anything to prevent you from getting arrested, thrown in jail, having a crminal record and potentially losing your job and/or hinder your future chances of employment.

It's a valid, and important question, for reasons much larger than just 'did you enjoy it?'

[onenote]

37. Isn't the relevant question about their support/opposition to decriminalization?

Not their personal past history? Obama has acknowledged using both cocaine and pot while in high school. Has he ever come out in favor of legalization/decriminalization of pot possession? Of cocaine possession?

[THUNDER HANDS]

40. i think both are important

or at least, interesting questions.

[underpants]

38. She doesn't strike me as the "in the kitchen" type

was that what you were referring to

[jcrew2001]

39. The PC answer is No and to challenge anyone to find out otherwise

nt

[polichick]

42. Gosh, I'd be worried about someone who grew up...

...during those times and DIDN'T try pot!

[Dervill Crow]

48. Honestly, I didn't inhale.

I sort of halfway inhaled, it burned, and I immediately exhaled. I didn't like it.

I am and was a dork. I am not sure that I am gullible enough to believe Bill Clinton was also a dork, though, who wasn't savvy enough to figure out how to smoke pot.

[BeyondGeography]

49. Hillary's got kind of a goofy laugh; I can picture her high

Not that I'd want to be around her with a buzz of my own.

Then again, it would beat getting stoned with Rudy.

[wicket]

50. Bubba was right when he said he didn't inhale

He preferred to eat it in brownies ;)

[Common Sense Party]

51. Has anyone yet asked her if she had pre-marital sex?

The questions that come out of "journalist's" mouths never cease to amaze me.

[polichick]

53. It really is ridiculous...

I'm waiting for the day one of the candidate says, "Get out of here!" like anyone else would say.
