02.10.09 PHELPSCAUGHTSMOKINGPOTGATE: 8 ARRESTED
Swimming is so boring between Olympics (Olympii?) that the best drug scandal that anyone could come up with was Michael Phelps smoking pot in front of a cell phone camera. But the fallout from that image has been unreal. Keep in mind that this is all happening in South Carolina, where reality and perspective–things you and I take for granted–do not exist.
We’ve now learned that since investigators began trying to build a case, they’ve made eight arrests: seven for drug possession and one for distribution. These are arrests that resulted as the sheriff’s department served search warrants.
We’ve also learned that the department has located and confiscated that bong. Sources say the owner of the bong was trying to sell it on eBay for as much as $100,000.
The owner, who wasn’t even at the party, is one of the eight now charged.
So far, Phelps has not been charged. But I hope that Richland County’s finest take care of that bong. That’s the most valuable piece of swimming memorabilia ever. Of course, two or three of them probably have already jizzed in it. Life as a cop is pretty boring when there’s no one on the street to bludgeon.

PHELPSCAUGHTSMOKINGPOTGATE: 8 ARRESTED
So bunch of kids smoke weed at a party and this leads to an investigation that brings in 8 arrests. Way to put those tax dollars to a good use Carolina. Bravo.
Every day the girl from the photo walks around free is a day our lives our in jeopardy. Sarah Palin I’m sure is whipping up a congratulations press conference as we speak.
/hates the south
/spectatcularly bad grammar as I bash the south stupidity.
It’s a good thing I smoke weed out of a Dr. Thunder soda can.
Lott just needed to get cash and drugs on the table. It’s an election year. Fucking buy or bust, man.
Just imagine if Phelps was colored.
I only bring this up because he was clearly using a “Whites only” bong.
Don’t be ridiculous, WDYA. A black Olympic swimmer?
WDYA is always f*cking the blacks.

She kind of resembles a 13 year old boy wearing a bikini, but here I am with my pants off anyway.
I really hope the douchenozzle who took the photo of Phelps that led to all this bullshit has been tarred and feathered by now.
I’d smoke that bowl, referring to the one between her legs,
Why the hell do they even care what he’s doing when he’s not competing? Big flip, he did some bong hits and banged a hot chick. I could see if he tested positive when he was competing ok. but what the hell man. Let the dude have some fun.
