twitterFlashpoint for Oct. 17, 2005
Monday, Oct. 17, 2005 | 8:50 a.m.
At least Jack Carter didn't bogart the information. Former President Jimmy Carter's son openly disclosed last week, in a story in the Reno Gazette-Journal that followed a blog report, that he smoked marijuana. Granted, Carter The Younger isn't the first candidate ever to admit to smoking pot. But it's the rest of the story, as Paul Harvey says, that could be more problematic. Seems Carter used his drug use to get booted out of the Navy -- and said he also used LSD and THC to make sure he was eighty-sixed. Being a pothead is one thing. But being a pothead who uses marijuana and other drugs to get out of the Navy? That could sink his ship, as if the prohibitive underdog could afford to take on any water.
