Music legend Willie Nelson, who was recently in St. Louis to endorse U.S. Senate candidate Claire McCaskill, was issued a misdemeanor citation this morning for possession of narcotic mushrooms and marijuana. Labels: Crime, U.S._Senate_Race
According to the AP, Louisiana State Police stopped Nelson's tour bus early this morning for a routine commercial inspection when a state trooper smelled marijuana inside. Police seized about 1.5 pounds of marijuana and two-tenths of a pound of mushrooms.
PUB DEF interviewed McCaskill just a few weeks ago standing in front of that very bus. We had joked with her communications director, Adrianne Marsh, earlier that day about whether Willie Nelson's tour bus is a place a Senate candidate really wants to be in the final weeks of the campaign.
UPDATE: The McCaskill Campaign has some more star support. Rock star and Missouri native Sheryl Crow has recorded a video message in support of Claire McCaskill. Click here to watch it.

No but Bill Clinton did.
He formulated his foreign policy while smoking the finest Central American grass available.
Which is why his foreign policy was so ineffective. He though launching 600 million dollars of cruise missles at worthless targets was "far out man."
But then again, President Bush was probably chemically affected by his college coke habit.
Either way the message is clear: Don't do drugs. Your decisions will be impared, and you might end up wasting taxpayer dollars.
