In reply to the discussion: David Cross admits to doing cocaine near President Obama during White House dinner [View all]Syrinx
(14,804 posts)40. Grace Slick
I think it said this is from 2007, but I heard this on Letterman, or something, much earlier.
Leah: Okay, tell me about trying to slip Richard Nixon acid at the White House.
Grace Slick: See, Trish Nixons daughter went to Finch College, and it was so small that she invited all of the alumni to a tea at the White House. But my name when I went there was Grace Wing, that doesnt mean anything right? Now, Grace Slick meant something.
So I get an invitation to the White House and I call up Abbie Hoffman and say [Sing-songy] Guess what I have .Ive got an invitation to the White House. So I put 600 mics of acid under a long fingernail I had for cocaine, and we go and were standing in line, and the security guard comes up to me and says, Im sorry you cant go in. Youre a security risk. And I go, What?! And he says, Youre on the FBI list. And I go, What?!?! And I found out that the members of Jefferson Airplane were on a list because of suspect lyrics.
They didnt know why I was a security threat, but they were right.

Small point of data: This was the WH Correspondents Dinner, not actually at the White House.
