Comedian wanted to snort coke near Obama -- and did it

2/16/2012

Give David Cross points for chutzpah. The comedian says in the March Playboy that he snorted cocaine in the presence of Barack Obama during the 2009 White House Correspondents' Dinner. Cross said of the incident: "It wasn't even that much cocaine. It was literally the size of, I don't know, a tick." He said his motivation was so he could say, "I did cocaine in the same room as the president." Mission accomplished! Cross added: "I'm not proud of it, nor am I ashamed of it." This does explain why he later signed onto do "Alvin and the Chipmunks: Chipwrecked."
