Comedian David Cross has fessed up to snorting cocaine in the same room as President Barack Obama and his Secret Service agents while at the White House Correspondents' Dinner.

Cross, who starred on the cult TV comedy, "Arrested Development," confessed to the impulsive act in the March issue of Playboy magazine. He has reportedly told the story before, but the Playboy interview was the first time he divulged all the details.

"It was a tiny granule of coke that I put on my wrist and said, 'Watch this. I need a witness.' And then I ducked under the table and did it," Cross said. "It wasn't like I got high. The jolt was similar to licking an empty espresso cup."

Cross, who admits to experimenting with a wide range of drugs, including crack cocaine, said his goal at the 2009 event was not to get high.

"It was just about being able to say that I did it, that I did cocaine in the same room as the president," he said. "I'm not proud of it, nor am I ashamed of it."

He said his only regret from the experience is getting his girlfriend, "The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants" actress Amber Tamblyn, "in trouble by association."

"I was her date, her plus-one, and she got dragged through the mud because of what I did," he said. "She had nothing to do with it. She didn't know I was going to do it. And because of that she'll never be invited to the White House again. That's not cool."

The Secret Service is sure on the ball............

Maybe he shared it with Obama or got it from him since we all know Obama loved his coke.........

it's a little coke people need to lighten up

Bahahaha! Not saying coke is awesome or anything, but Cross is a badass for that. Who cares about his then-girlfriend.

No, he's a dumba$$. I hope they charge his dumb a$$ since it's within the statute of limitations.

We don't all know anything of the kind

He talked about it in his book.

Hell, this guy will probably be given a cabinet position since he can get better drugs for Obama then the DEA can.

Obama probably sold it to him!

That's how he makes his money then since he's a crappy author and an even worse President.

I did not read the article but I believe your first post implied that Obama knew nothing of the event and that only after the comedian divulged the incident in an interview did his date get into trouble.

Did I miss something glaring here????

Well I just read the article and it is word for word your post. I saw no implication of Obama in the incident what so ever.
I only saw what your joke implied at the expense of the President of our United States Obama.

To bad I wasn't joking about our drug addict President.

Song of the truely desperate...

Hell yea, I am desperate not to have a crack head for a President.

but a cokehead is ok?

President Bush was an alcoholic, get it right.

yeah,, thats ALL he was doing,,,,

Actually it is. Unlike Clinton, oh wait he didn't inhale and Obama who bragged about illegal narcotic use in his poor excuse for a book.

I dont think he was bragging, anymore than Bush brags about being a former alcoholic,,,,


and I actually dont know that Bush was or wasnt, because he hasnt openly admitted his vices the way OBama has

but I tend to believe he is the 'type' to have done cocaine and I tend to believe accounts from former classmates and enlistees that he did,,,,

and Im not sure if a 'former' alcoholic is better or worse tnan a 'former' cokehead,,, but whatever keeps the sensationalism going,,,,,,,,

I got to meet the man and I dont think he is the type at all and frankly it's none of our business if they don't go out and brag about it like Obama.
