What A Dope: Michael Phelps caught with cannabis pipe

Here's the thing, if snorting coke didn't stop George W. Bush from being president than a picture Phelps taking a bong hit shouldn't be a big deal to this country.

I really don't know if everybody thinks its that big of a deal, most people don't think what he did was so bad but the fact that he'd been painted as an all american boy, he let "them" down, whether that was truly him or not, it was his image. Wheaties loved it, and I think a lot of the parents out there, who's kids have been idolizing Lil Wayne and Paris Hilton for the past few years are disappointed because for a few months, some goofy kid with ADHD actually made their kids think that staying active and going to college might actually be a cool thing to do…and now he's just like the others.

Yeah, his reputation as a golden boy is what the big deal is here.  I wouldn't group an 8 time gold olympian with Lil Wayne and Paris Hilton.  Listen, if parents dont think their 23 year old kids are going to party…they need a reality check.  Should he stay a virgin until he is married?  Does he have to go to church every Sunday?  This whole thing is ridiculous….whether they are role models or not, they are still real people with real people problems whether its Tom Brady having an illigitamate child or Brett Favre being addicted to pain pills it doesn't mean they are bad people or bad role models.  These upset parents should worry about being a role model to their kids and leading with their own actions, not counting on some 23 year old kid that can swim fast.

And just curious, what does smoking marijuana have to do with relegion?

people in this country dont have a problem with drug usage….we have huge pharmacuetical companies that sell MILLIONS of $$$ in anti-depressants, coffee, alchohol, nicoteene, etc.  This country is very pro-drug…cant figure out the attitude towards marijuana?  Morally, its okay to take Xanax for anxiety but you cant smoke a joint?  I dont use drugs, but dont understand the soapbox everybody gets on when it comes to this issue.

Eight Arrests in Phelp's Case:


"Many are saying the sheriff should concentrate on more serious crimes, or at the very least, not focus solely on the Olympic champion when there were others at the party who were also breaking the law."
