George Clinton , that is:
George Clinton, the godfather of American funk music, was arrested in Tallahassee early Saturday and charged with cocaine possession outside an Apalachee Parkway Circle K.
According to arrest reports, Clinton was sitting in a Gold Nissan Sentra smoking what appeared to be a cigar. A police officer found a bag containing a substance that field-tested positive for cocaine and a glass pipe, which the officer said is commonly used to smoke crack.
So now what we have here is a race (no pun intended).
Limbaugh was out of the gate first, but he’s a hillbilly heroin abusing caucasian conservative.
Clinton on the other hand is black, on crack, caught in the act and a Dem-- well, perhaps I assume too much.
Both were busted in Florida.
So, who’s going to need soap-on-a-rope first?
George Clinton does drugs? :eek:
Actually, neither of them will probably do any time. The King of Funk will probably just plead out to some minor charge and go to rehab. I’m not even sure that a non celeb would get prison time for a first offense possession charge.

Is that George Herbert Walker Clinton, or the son, George “Slick Dubya” Clinton?

Dern your hide for getting my hopes up.
A gold Nissan Sentra?
How the mighty have fallen.
I think Clinton is going down first.
Dunno, but that is a GREAT mugshot.
George Clinton uses drugs?! Color me shocked!
well, damn! I go to that Circle-K all the time! And I never get busted for possession!
(If I’d known it was his tacky-ass Gold Sentra, I’d have waved!)
oh, and you gotta admit, he may be black, and it may have been cocaine (it didn’t specify i fit was crack or not), but
Clinton, 62, was released from the Leon County Jail on $2,650 bail, according to court records. His next court date was not yet scheduled.
(bolding mine) does appear to show a little favoritism probably related to his fame.
Makes Nolte look like a lightweight.

If there is any justice in the world, Limbaugh should be the only one to go, since Clinton has contributed far more to the betterment of the nation than he ever will.
(Which Clinton? Does it matter? )

Bail is related to the liklihood of skippin it. The less likely that you’ll skip, the less your bail.
So he’s not going to skip bail? I thought it was pot that made you lazy!

and what the charge is. which is also often related to the liklihood of you skipping.
Maybe it was also related to the likelihood of Clinton slipping away never to be found again.
He is a wee bit distinctive looking.

Limbaugh is a hillbilly heroin? How about motivational and generally correct symbol of the people who care about the betterment of man. Not that tax and fuck stuff either. Have you ever actually listened to Limbaugh’s program? I mean a whole piece of subject matter.
If Clinton does rehab he won’t serve time, just like thousands of other people.

the reference to “hillbilly heroin” refers to Oxycontin, the drug Mr. L was addicted to, not Mr. L hissownself.
Yeah, what wring said.
Among the interesting things that Rush has “taught” us, it’s that Oxycontin abuse apparently causes , ahem, auto-immune inner ear disease .
Either that or he was full of shit.
Maybe George Clinton’s back hurt.
