(Jeff Chiu - Associated Press) Anyone notice a cloud hanging over the Mall last week? That might have been the White House softball team getting absolutely smoked by the team fielded by the marijuana lobby.
The One Hitters, the team of pro-pot activists, beat STOTUS (the Softball Team of the U.S.) 25-3.
Marijuana doesn’t seem to dampen athletic prowess (which we already knew — hello, Michael Phelps!). Still, the victors were gracious about the rout. “The One Hitters enjoyed slugging it out with the White House,” said Aaron Houston, executive director of Students for Sensible Drug Policy, the group that sponsors the team. “Hopefully we can play them again when they aren’t totally absorbed in work.”
We almost missed the pun hidden there. Hint: David Maraniss’s latest book revealed that President Obama’s high-school pot smoking philosophy included “total absorption” of the precious weed.
Get it now?
The win over the feds was a boost to the One Hitters, who were disappointed last season when the Czardinals, the team representing the Office of National Drug Control Policy (that would be the Drug Czar) cancelled on them, citing a double-booked game.
