Brad Pitt showed up on Bill Maher’s show the other night to show the world that you don’t have to be stoned to be incoherent. He seems to have taken diametrically opposed positions on the same issue – pot.
Early in the interview, Maher asks Pitt about the rumors that he’s going to run for mayor of New Orleans.
“They were asking about running for mayor, which has been a T-shirt in New Orleans,” Pitt responded, “and I said something to the extent of, ‘No religion, legalization and taxation of pot and pro-gay marriage.’ Which is basically the Bill Maher going straight to hell campaign.” (1:10 to 1:48)
Later, Maher asks Pitt why he gave up pot and the movie star replied, “I’m a dad now and you want to be alert.”
(Time: 3:51 to 5:15)
The way we understand this genius’ position, it’s OK to smoke yourself senseless up to the moment you become a father. Maybe even light up a fatty and pass it around the delivery room while you’re becoming a father.
Yup, looks this guy’s dumb enough to succeed Ray Nagin as mayor of New Orleans.
