The Bigger Question is: Why Did it Take a Fake News Show to Force Rick the Dick to Confront This?

From TPM:

Daily Show correspondent Aasif Mandvi interrupted a press conference by Florida Gov. Rick Scott (R) to ask him to prove to the state taxpayers that he’s not on drugs by peeing in a cup.

“You benefit from hundreds of thousands of taxpayer dollars every year, so would you be willing to pee into this cup to prove to Florida taxpayers that you’re not on drugs, that you’re not using that money for drugs?” Mandvi asked.

Mandvi’s question referenced the law proposed by Scott and passed by the state legislature that requires all welfare recipients to take a drug test before they can receive benefits from the state.

No special rights for criminals who buy governorships.  As such, I think Rick the Dick should also have to prove that he doesn’t own or have access to a whizzinator.
