Republican Congressman Trey Radel GUILTY Of COCAINE POSSESSION Apologizes

[Segami]

5. Whats good for the goose is....

"....As long as he’s looking at who he has let down, in view of his current cocaine troubles, Radel might also want to re-evaluate his support for the farm bill currently being negotiated between the U.S. House of Representatives and the Senate. The version the Florida Congressman voted for allows states to require — get this — drug testing for all food stamp recipients. Rep. Jim McGovern (D-Mass.) argued against the drug testing amendment as degrading. Ironically, he asked the chamber, “Why don’t we drug test all the members of Congress here. Force everybody to go urinate in a cup or see whether or not anybody is on drugs?...”

It’s bad enough for Republican Congressmen to insist that needy people must ‘pee in a cup’ in order to prove themselves worthy of eating. But the law is being finalized the same week that one of their own clearly couldn’t pass such a test himself. The continued insistence on demeaning an already distressed population is the height of hypocrisy. If Rep. Radel truly believes in redemption, this issue would be a good place to start.
