| Description | WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. - Democratic Rep. Robert Wexler says he was just playing along with the joke when comedian Stephen Colbert prodded him in an interview to say: "I enjoy cocaine because it's a fun thing to do."
The Florida congressman who is unchallenged for re-election appeared on Colbert's Comedy Central show and was asked to say a few things that would "really lose the election for you if you were contested."
Colbert asked the congressman to complete this sentence: "I enjoy cocaine because ... "
A bemused Wexler looked into the camera and said, "I enjoy cocaine because it's a fun thing to do."
A follow-up in the complete-the-sentence questioning led to this comment: "I enjoy the company of prostitutes for the following reasons ... because it's a fun thing to do. If you combine the two together, it's probably even more fun." |
