Golden Boy Phelps Lights Up, So Does (Allegedly) Obama's Half-Brother In Kenya

By Big Tent Democrat

This is damn funny to me (photo here):

Olympic great Michael Phelps has acknowledged “regrettable” behavior and “bad judgment” after a photo in a British newspaper showed him smoking marijuana. In a statement released to The Associated Press, the swimmer who won a record eight gold medals at the Beijing Games conceded the authenticity of the exclusive picture published Sunday by the tabloid News of the World.

Phelps said: “I engaged in behavior which was regrettable and demonstrated bad judgment. I’m 23 years old and despite the successes I’ve had in the pool, I acted in a youthful and inappropriate way, not in a manner people have come to expect from me. For this, I am sorry. I promise my fans and the public it will not happen again.”

No word on whether he inhaled. UPDATE- Obama's half brother arrested for marijuana possession in Kenya. A "youthful indiscretion" no doubt. I hate the hypocritical BS.

Speaking for me only
