Now that they've had the issue bandied about the political world, Hillary Clinton's campaign can afford to pull back from the controversial comments by its New Hampshire co-chair about Barack Obama's drug use. The candidate herself has personally apologized for the remarks, which were completely unexpected and unsanctioned, and promised that her team would not make any further mention of the possibility that her rival may have used illegal drugs as recently as last week, possibly trading them for sex with an underage white girl he keeps in his stable of whores. The campaign further pledged to avoid mentioning possible rumors that Obama ran a high-tech meth lab out of the property he purchased from indicted Illinois fundraiser Antoin "Tony" Rezko. They're going to take the high ground from now on. [Time]
