Right-Winger Tom Tancredo Lost A Bet And Must Now Smoke Pot (With Update)

This is hilarious:

Anti-immigrant firebrand and former Rep. Tom Tancredo (R-CO) says he will make good on a past bet he made to smoke marijuana if Colorado legalized it by referendum. Tancredo, who supported the marijuana reform proposal but said he did not partake in drugs himself, made a bet in a promotional film advocating its passage that he would nonetheless smoke pot if it ended up becoming law. Since it passed, he told Fox News he will uphold his end of the bargain.

As Bill Maher said last night about Tancredo :  "I just hope in the next few years he loses a bet on gay marriage."

UPDATE: Tancredo decides to do the dishonorable thing:

Ex-Rep. Tom Tancredo (R-CO) on Friday backed out of his bet to smoke pot if Colorado legalized the drug for recreational use, saying that going through with it would have set a bad example for his grandchildren. ***

Yeah -- way to set an example.
