In an interview with the Polish version of Newsweek, Prime Minister Donald Tusk admits that in the 1980s he toked on a few spliffs. Cue predictable outrage from some opposition MPs.
In a long interview that delves into the past of Donald Tusk - which will be soon released as a small book - the prime minister talks about his time as a Solidarity activist and some of his experiences when he was banned by the communists from getting normal work.
Forced to take casual jobs as a painter and decorator and other manual work, he admits that he spent much of the time drinking cheap wine and on occasion smoking marijuana.
But the similarities with tales from that old perve Willy Clinton end when Tusk admits that he did inhale.
MPs from his own Civic Platform, like Julia Pitera, have praised Tusk for his honesty, for ‘breaking the conspiracy of silence’ about the issue of drug taking by politicians in their youth and that the statement ‘inspires trust’ among the electorate.
Predictably, however, members of the conservative Law and Justice party have jumped on the revelation in an attempt to gain a few points.
The outraged MP Beata Kempa said she wants a ‘sober and drug-free PM’ because senior politicians must have a spotless reputation. Kempa said that smoking wacky backy leads to ‘pathologies’ and causes ‘changes to the brain’ with symptoms such as failing memory and...um...other things this blogger...er...can’t quite remember.
But looking closer at Tusk, with his red tinged hair - and if you had smoked enough - then he could have a passing resemblance to a Camberwell Carrot.

For a second there, looking at the photo, I thought it was an article about him on the potty.
:-)...but where would the ''inhale'' bit fit in to that?
Shocking!!! The Scandal!!! I can't believe it!!! He should be...what was I saying? Eh, whatever...
As usual the effects of alcohol are ignored; as PiS are the first to admit that a good politician is a pickled politician. – Not that I’m criticizing that simple premise, rather that the hypocrisy they show is enough to turn one to hard drugs!!!!
Beatroot
What it the big deal? He smoked a little pot and you drink gin all day.
The problem with Clinton was not the pot smoking but his pattern of evasion. The pattern of evasion and delusion that the whole world revolved around him were the problems. Al Gore said he smoked pot and it was over in two seconds. Obama's drug use has not been a big deal.
And the problem with Rush Limburger and his oxycontin abuse was his dishonesty about it.
And the problem with Bill O'Reilly and his loofa sponge...
About the "inhale bit," I just read about some Canadian politician who was recently quite embarrased because he got caught sniffing chair seats after women sat in them. Who knows what Tusk liked to whiff?
Geez
Rush Limbaugh is an entertainer and has been quite open about it. Moreover, the alleged crime of doctor shopping is never prosecuted and was dropped.
As far as Bill ORielly he was not accused of rape nor was he accused as a serial offender ala Bill Clinton.Bill Clinton was a lifetime offender protected by the left.
Are you aware that I am not even allowed to have lunch with an associate unless it is part of a larger group. I may sit at a group
lunch table but a male and female coworker having lunch together could get a suspension.
As usual you are clueless. Now fetch Geez some Gin on the rocks.
Well, aren't you special?
If Limburger is an entertainer, he should stop meddling in primary politics. But I see your point, the dimwitted people who listen to him are hypnotized into doing the most dissgusting, idiotic, and undemocratic things imaginable.
Oh, just because Bill O'Reilly harrassed a woman repeatedly and because it was one woman (as far a we know), that's Ok.
No wonder you aren't allowed to sit with women at the lunch table.
I see beakerkin is back ... oh .... joy.
Does this mean I have to start trying to be relatively nice (or at least not an insensitive jerk) again?
Beakie Weakie: Limbaugh's is a clown. You can call him an entertainer. There are so many laughs in homelessness.
Mr. O'Reilly paid millions of dollars to his sexual harassment case.
Beak uses the word "the left" in a vague manner, implying the whole left is Clintonite.
To Beak social democrats as Michael Harrington are communists.
Beatroot
A person who is an open Trotskyite isa communist and a circus freak.
Here we have examples of Trotskyite
and circus freaks being off topic. Does the salonista ever emerge from his gin impaired stupor to lecture
commies.
Limbaugh is an entertainer and a fairly good one. Homelessness would be very funny if traitorous Trotskyites would be made homeless and stateless. If the manifesto impaired lunatic listened instead of lectured he would not be so clueless. Then again Ren lectured
a Black listener named CB about a racist song Obama the Magic Negro
only to learn he was wrong as usual.
Harrington was a communist and did attempt to repackage a more mainstream version of the malady
to infiltrate the Democratic party.
He did turn his back on author Radosh when he exposed the lies about the communist spies.
Obama has also abused drugs, but it
is not a big deal. His knowingly working with a communist terrorist
is a big deal.
Irving Howe.
A former Trot.
Beak loves him.
Unrequited though.
Big deal.
Beak also loves and admires Kevin James' keen knowledge of history:

I am quite amused by the lack of substance among salonistas and their
useless staff.
Lets see a political figure you do not like smokes some pot. Rather than talk about the ideas salonistas emerge from their own gin soaked stupor and talk about pot. The there are the so articulate posts about the looks of politicians.
Now Geez make yourself useful and fetch some beverages. Ren the Slavemaster/Trotskyite wants to inspect the plantation and lecture the unwashed masses for your own good.
Hey Boopydupa,
Why doncha just cut and save your latest missive above so you can continue to post it here in the future? You say the same shit all the time so why bother to change a word here or there?
Geez
Fetch the gin like a good slave. Perhaps Lord Ren has a Trotskyite Organ grinder that needs a monkey to collect coins.
What is minimum wage in Poland? Is there a shortage of meds at the local mental health facility.
Beatroot
What is the big deal about smoking pot in the past? Are we electing Priests or leaders. Since when haveecome the gin impaired become such Puritans? Even Jerry Falwell never made such a big issue about Pot smoking.
You are sounding more infantile every week.
As usual you are clueless. Now fetch, Geez, some Gin on the rocks Now Geez make yourself useful and fetch some beverages. Geez, fetch the gin like a good slave. As usual you are clueless.

Where is the Greek God Beatroot? Does he view you worthy to do his menial labor? Maybe he is looking for more skilled lackeys. Perhaps his next post will be on the rising price of Gin.
What is the big deal about a tad of pot? Has the Greek God of Gin Impairment decided he wants to be Pat Robertson? Perhaps decades of sloth and Gin have eroded the few brain cells remaining.Has the pompous lout lost the ability to articulate mediocre ideas?
Geez
Be a good lackey and fetch some Kool Aide. One never knows when the Trotskyites will revert to Jim Jones mode.
Haven't we reached the point where Freakerdin's comments are seen by all as SPAM?
Geez
My comments have been on topic.
Now be a good slave and fetch some Gin. Perhaps someone can point to a village without an idiot for your next gig.

Geez
I will spare you some work just type in number one to do the slave routine.
Beatroot is more than capable of defending himself without you fetching his Gin. Let Beatroot speak for himself for better or worse.
A review of this thread shows a comment on topic and you being off topic. What does Rush Limbaugh have to do with this post? He is not the subject of this post or related in any tangential manner.It would seem that both you and the genocidal Trotskyite goon who cry about being off topic are off topic frequently.
In short you do not serve Lord Beatroot well with your unmanly crying and idiotic comments. Let the Lord of the Manor defend himself as he is best suited to defending his own words.
The problem with Clinton. . .

Geez
A simple look at this thread shows that both you and the genocidal lunatic were off topic. Beatroot can defend himself quite well without poorly paid serfs making him look absurd.
Whoever owns this blog, I would like to say that he has a great idea of choosing a topic.
interviews and these are great
