The Easter bunny brought a little treat to advocates of legalizing marijuana yesterday: a Republican who is pushing her party to support the movement spouted her stuff on...Fox News. Introduced as "GOP Mom," mother-of-two/attorney/political consultant Jessica Corry explains that "this really about more than pot," in a segment highlighted by Mediaite. "This is about endorsing a future for this country where we don't rely on the government to enforce our moral behavior."

"If people want to smoke pot and sit on their couch, I don't have a problem with it," says Corry, who is much more concerned by the national debt, twice repeating that every American born today "gets" a $45,000 bill for their share of it. "Let's take power out of the hands of international terrorists and let's make some money while we're doing it."
