Now that "ImpeachObama" has stolen my line , here is my retort.
Was he inahling when he was toking it up?
Will he get the Zig-Zag endorsement for a new line of cigarette papers, "Rosetta Stoner"?
Will he be the next star in a Mission Impossible movie where the tape plays- Mr. Phelps, you have accepted an assignment where you were supposed to hold yourself at the same level as other US Olympians, Jim Thorpe, Bob Mathias, Glenn Cunningham and Mark Spitz. You failed and your endorsement deals just went up in smoke. By the way, your agent just called and is ready to commit Hara-Kiri.
