Video: U.S. Rep. Robert “Cocaine and Prostitutes” Wexler on Colbert Report

by John Little on 23/07/2006

This is just unbelievable. Wexler has a sense of humor, which is usually admirable, but apparently can’t think on his feet. He really should have seen it coming:

U.S. Rep. Robert Wexler has sat in front of some of the hottest television lights in the world of news talk, barking about political rivals, demanding action and mostly holding his own in on-air squabbles.

Then he sat down with comedian Stephen Colbert.

Wexler thought he knew what he was getting into — but really he didn’t.

He found himself talking about whether caribou meat should be used to fuel sport utility vehicles. And he found himself being cajoled into staring at the camera and saying, “I enjoy cocaine because it’s a fun thing to do,” in a segment that aired Thursday night.

Remixes of this video should start popping up on YouTube any day now.
