It appears back in October a boat owned by Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell was found to be hiding 90 pounds of cocaine, just enough to kick off his 73rd birthday today, February 20th. I sure hope they were able to find a secondary sources, which seems likely, considering the people he knows at work.

It’s not a new tradition in the American political realm to get caught smuggling, Roosevelt’s grandfather smuggle opium into China, Joe Kennedy supposedly smuggled rum in alumni events, which seems a little like smuggling xanax into Lindsay Lohan. The point is, Mitch is in good company and I’m sure that whatever party favors he plans on handing out tonight they will be in plentiful supply, tax free, and might possibly come with an official Senatorial straw.
