Suggesting the American public’s propensity for vindication as proof in the election of Barack Obama, who admitted a previous life’s cocaine vice, Houston Chronicle columnist Ken Hoffman was out-of-order for citing the comparison as a basis to release Michael Phelps’ photographed bong bust from incrimination’s hooks. Hoffman said of Barack Obama in “Lay off Michael Phelps” published February 9, 2009: “Americans seemed to have forgiven him. They just elected him president over a war hero. And judging from all those magazine covers, commemorative coins and collectible plates, nobody moves product like Barack Obama.”
Ken’s logic must be lodged in a Kellogg's Fruit Loop. Had Barack Obama been caught on camera like Washington D.C.’s former crack mayor Marion Berry during the presidential run, he would be an ousted Illinois Senator.
Because Kellogg's dashed for corporate cover, severing ties with the athletically accomplished Aquaman, Phelps apparently has more in common with R&B crooner Chris “Smiley” Brown than Obama. Brown, in a judicial pickle for assaulting his girlfriend, pop princess Rhianna, was temporarily scratched from Wrigley’s endorsement lineup after the allegations gained steam.
Both Phelps and Brown, who exercised judgment unrestrained by common sense, have also likely fallen victim to invincibility's hype. If Michael must bong and blaze, why can't he do so privately in his palatial Maryland bach pad to avoid risking income or reputational tarnish?
