Isn't it Liberal-types who always have the "inexperienced-sheltered" card ready to play on Conservative types who want to discourage government-sanctioned bad behavior? Well, in this particular case, Senator Coleman is holding all the cards. Yes, he inhaled and, yes, he wants no part of government advocacy of this behavior. He should know right?
