David Cross Brags About Snorting Coke Near POTUS

Comedian David Cross bragged about snorting coke near the President of the United States.

The star of Arrested Development and Mr. Show With Bob and David claims he did blow within yards of President Obama at the White House Correspondents’ Association dinner in May.

“So I got to go because my girlfriend is a fancy Hollywood actress [Amber Tamblyn] and she got an invitation to go this last time, so we went. But it’s crazy and there’s security, Secret Service is standing there. I’ve got photos of all this. … I’m there and the president is right here and with all these people at the table…”

…Cross then says he snorted coke…

“Maybe 40 feet from the president of the United States!”

Cross did blow near POTUS not because he needed a pick me up but because he’s in a competition to outdo a friend in “dares and outrageousness.” The comedian claims to have texted his friend, “No way you can ever top that” and to having pictures of the event.

There is one caveat to this story, Cross revealed the details of his debauchery during his standup routine. This could all be a joke.

After all, Cross is a big enough pinko-commie douche bag to actually think this is funny. And he’s a big enough pinko-commie douche bag to actually consume hard drugs within shouting distance of the leader of the free world.

Those familiar with his standup act will agree that this sounds like something he would joke about. However, he hasn’t come forward to deny or confirm the incident. Perhaps he’s staying quiet to garner some extra publicity for the upcoming Arrested Development movie?

The story broke on Politico and is quickly spreading around the blogosphere. So far, the only real journalistic outfits to run with the story are FoxNews.com and The New York Post. No site has provided any clues to the story’s validity and most just regurgitate the Politico blurb.

I think it’s a joke. While Cross is depraved enough to do this, he’s also the type of guy who craves the feeling of superiority, especially intellectually. He will get a much bigger thrill out of making fun of everyone who believes his little coke joke than he would out of any line of crystalline tropane alkaloid.

By the way, Cross and Tamblyn were seated with or near former Transportation Secretary Norman Mineta, Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius, former Defense Secretary Don Rumsfeld, Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia and “the editor-in-chief of the USA Today.” That’s a group of people more disturbed than the Bluths.
