Wilde Weasel

Radio's Wilde is running as "Mom":

During the DFL primary campaign, candidate Gavin Sullivan took aim at Wilde on his website, listing a 2002 Internet posting she wrote about a trip to the Netherlands, which indicated she smoked there and discussed decriminalizing marijuana.

Wilde said she didn't remember smoking the drug, but acknowledged she may have tried it there. She said she does not use illegal drugs and wrote the Internet posting as a discussion point, wondering why marijuana is illegal and why the war on drugs hasn't had a positive effect.

Mom!

Personally, I wouldn't hold a little casual marijuana use against a candidate for office. What I can't stand is when they try to weasel their way around it. "I don't remember" and "I may have tried it" just doesn't fly. She remembers and she knows whether she did or didn't inhale.
