David Cross Snorted Cocaine 'Super Close to the President'

By PopEater Staff Posted Oct 23rd 2009 10:49AM

He's a comedian, so who knows if he's joking or not, but David Cross is claiming he brought cocaine to the recent White House Correspondents' Association dinner and snorted it "maybe 40 feet from" the president. During a stand-up routine this week, the 'Arrested Development' star said he and his "fancy Hollywood actress" girlfriend Amber Tamblyn were seated "super close" to President Barack Obama and near several members of the president's cabinet when he thought: Yep, it's a good time to do drugs.

On a dare from a friend, he decided to do something that even he admits was "crazy." Via Politico Click:

"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" he snorted coke. "Maybe 40 feet from the president of the United States!"

He texted his friend to say, "No way you can ever top that."

The party may have "White House" in the title, but it isn't held there. This year, drinks and jokes (and apparently cocaine) were enjoyed at the Hilton Hotel on May 9.

First sign you're an idiot: snorting cocaine. Second sign: doing it near the president. Third sign: bragging about it. Congratulations on being a MORON.

Good Job David.

This is America. Freedom to do what you want. If he can get away with it, i say congrats, brother.

There's alot more things worse that drugs...

By Alice

Everyone knows Obama must be using drugs because of the stupid things he is doing. I saw a video on YouTube where Obama was using drugs with his boyfriend Larry Sinclair in his limosine. Michele is surely doing it also since why would she want to sneak out in the middle of the night for hamburgers? I just saw on Fox news that many people are signing petitions to have him impeached.

Your mom was there too wasn't she?

good donkey party dolts cannot be judgmental . . . everything is relative.

Barry is a big coke head...why not?

By WhatWasIThankingDemocrat

It's good to be narrow minded, it helps one to focus on Obama's stupidity without distractions.

Arlene,
You may be right...
But....It must have been your mama that "START THE ORGY"

By bigead007

What an ass nothing to be proud of hey i like to party just just like the rest but wow u have to be such an ass to do something like that and report it. Guess he needed the attention . Hey dumb ass keep it to yourself next time i cant stand people like that i will change the channel next time i see this dush bag, act your age idiot.

By mammabear

Ok..first off I have never been able to stand this guy so to me it's not surprising that he would do something like this. But the shocking part was that his G/F is Amber Tamblyn. Now, how does that happen??

By Alex

I loved his work on Arrested Development, but will now have this knowledge in my mind whenever I see him on screen again. A total idiot a**hole, IMHO. He and others who use coke should stop a moment and reflect on the supply chain that brought it into their possession, and wonder how many steps removed they are from the murderous cut-throat thugs who profit on every gram of the stuff they use. A thoughtless, self-indulgent, moronic cretin.... just some of the PG-rated descriptions that come to mind.

By Vivian

And just like in the shoe incident with President Bush - where was the secret service when all this was going on?

By Miss Major

Wait, didn't the Secret Service essentially beat the crap out of the guy who threw the shoe?

By Rick

what an ass

I HOPE THE MAN IS LOCK UP. BECAUSE COCAINE KILLS.

Reena...I love how you, as a democrat, generalize against Republicans. If you were so open minded then you would acknowledge that even Republicans are entitled to their opinions!

DAVID CROSS IS A MORON!! And so are you for making such an idiotic predujudice statement!

By Reena

AH DUH CHERYL!!...DO YOU KNOW THE MEANING OF SARCASM??!!
I said those things about republicans to prove a point that you can't lump a whole group of people as being the same (as the person I was replying to did, about democrats!) dummy!

Sorry Rena,

My fault...didn't read the whole thread! I just can't stand when people on here make blanket statements. I was just popping in and out...thanks for clarifying
