Democrats and the Drug War

I bang on about this issue all the time. So do many libertarians and liberals. But what happens when politicians have to deal with the issue? In many ways, the Democrats who know better and still pander to drug-war insanity on marijuana are worse than the authoritarians on the right. Arianna is right to huff. Clinton, Obama and Spitzer are all missing in action - and will be for the foreseeable future. Only a Republican can call off the drug war, it seems. And none will.
