It’s common enough amongst most if not all people, but it seems to flow through the Republican Party like raw sewage into the Ganges.
Robert Watson, a high-ranking Republican state legislator in Rhode Island, is in hot water after being charged with driving under the influence of marijuana and possession of marijuana and drug paraphernalia. Drug charges alone would be bad enough for a public official, but Watson, Rhode Island's House minority leader, is still remembered for his controversial anti-drug, anti-gay and anti-immigrant remarks.
In February, Watson said the Rhode Island legislature had their priorities right "if you are a Guatemalan gay man who likes to gamble and smokes marijuana."

Tsk. 
I wonder if he’ll be treated by the court like that “Guatemalan gay man” and spend some time in the poogie. Anybody wanna run a book on that?

If you happen to be a gay Guatemalan, that ain't necessarly so. And Watson's charged with more than simple possession; he's got a DUI as well, not to mention the paraphernalia charge. But, I'll betcha he'll walk without even much of a fine, anyway.

| You have to be a truly responsible person like Robert Watson to be trusted around marijuana, it's only natural he doesn't want it available to the general public, it's for their own good. |

Given the total context and content of his comment, sarcasm seems the only rational conclusion.
