More Naughty Politicians Exposed

posted by on October 11 at 11:24 AM

Another scandal, in Italy this time…

A popular Italian satirical television show has exposed what appears to be widespread drug use among [Italy’s] parliamentarians.

In secret tests for a number of illegal substances the program said 16 of 50 lower house deputies tested positive for cocaine and cannabis.

Almost a third appeared to have taken the drugs in the past 36 hours.

Full story.

Nice to know their lawmakers party, too. Lesson: Don’t ever let anyone you don’t know swab you.

Let's hope it results in more sensible drug laws over there, and not more hypocritical crackdowns.
