The Wall Street Journal reports a pretty good example of political hypocrisy, with lawmaker Steve Katz, fresh off of helping defeat the legalization of medical marijuana in New York state for people who desperately need it:
A Putnam County assemblyman received a ticket for marijuana possession Thursday after he was stopped for speeding on the New York State Thruway.
Assemblyman Steve Katz, a 59-year-old Republican who voted no last year on a bill to legalize medical marijuana, had been traveling 80 mph on I-87 through Coeymans, N.Y., where the speed limit is 65 mph, state police said. During the speeding stop, police said a trooper noted the odor of marijuana and found Mr. Katz in possession of a small bag.
State police released Mr. Katz with a ticket and ordered him to appear in court on March 28. He didn’t immediately return a call for comment.

This is why you never drive around while carrying. If you are, drive immaculately. Unless the cop planted the weed.
I suggest he be stoned for this infraction…
I’ll tell you this- No eternal reward will forgive us now for wasting the dawn.

I think it was a radio talk show host named “Mad Dog” Bob Lassiter that I first heard say, “Children rebel against their parents’ hypocrisies, not their values”.
I do believe i will have that engraved upon a plaque.
He voted for freedom with his “no” vote on marijuana legalization. As in freedom to not pay any taxes on his home grown herb.
