White House Acknowledges 21 Had Extra Drug Tests
By TIM WEINER
The Secret Service stepped up drug testing on 21 White House staff members two years ago after they revealed they had experiences far more extensive than an experimental puff of marijuana in college, a White House spokeswoman said today.

In answers to questionnaires needed to obtain permanent White House passes, the staff members disclosed that they had smoked marijuana or taken stronger drugs at least once within the past year, or more frequently in years past.

The Bush Administration imposed a random drug-testing policy at the White House in 1991, a policy that continues today. But the Secret Service asked the 21 employees of the Clinton White House to submit to at least two tests a year, said the spokeswoman, Mary Ellen Glynn.

Nine employees, none at a senior level, are undergoing a minimum of two random drug tests a year, she said. Twelve people of the 21 originally ordered to submit to the tests have left the White House for other jobs over the past three years, she said.

*******

How's come Old Chimpy McCokeSpoon doesn't have to take a drug test?

1. At least Obama confronted it honestly instead of cover-up (*) or lie (I did not
inhale) Bill Clinton.

3. Since we are the employer, we should be demanding that Bush be tested!
