Hoffman’s body is still warm and Cohen is out there using it to push his agenda. So classy.
Via NY Post:
Congressional Democrats dragged Philip Seymour Hoffman’s name into a hearing on the nation’s marijuana laws Tuesday — even as Mimi O’Donnell, the grieving mom of his three kids, ventured out to plan his funeral.
“It is ludicrous, absurd, crazy to have marijuana on the same level as heroin. Ask the late Philip Seymour Hoffman, if you could,” said Rep. Steve Cohen (D-Tenn.) in a stern lecture to Michael Botticelli, President Obama’s deputy drug czar.
“Nobody dies from marijuana. People die from heroin. And every second we spend in this country trying to enforce marijuana laws is a second that we’re not enforcing heroin laws.”
Even as the House Oversight Subcommittee’s hearing was playing out, a visibly shaken O’Donnell arrived at the Frank E. Campbell funeral home on the Upper East Side, supported by Hoffman’s assistant, Isabella Wing-Davey.
