cuz it was in contrast to bill clinton claiming he smoked weed and never inhaled.

repubs, the clinton campaign, and the media said it would jeopardize his run for president.
even bob johnson (bet founder)...who was a clinton supporter...tried to passive-aggressively make it an issue.

in the end...nobody gave a fuck.

if it had looked like something he was tryna hide tho...shit would have haunted him throughout his entire campaign.
