WEXLER'S COCAINE CRACK JUST A JOKE, HE SAYS

U.S. Rep. Robert Wexler (D-Fla.) says he was just playing along with
the joke when comedian Stephen Colbert prodded him in an interview to
say: "I enjoy cocaine because it's a fun thing to do."

The Democrat, unchallenged for re-election, appeared on "The Colbert
Report" on Comedy Central and was asked to say things that would
"really lose the election for you if you were contested."

Colbert asked the congressman to complete this sentence: "I enjoy
cocaine because ... "

Wexler said after his interview aired last week that he had never
seen the show before and had appeared at the urging of his younger staffers.
