Sebastian Horsley: Turned away at Newark Liberty International Airport {Gadling}
Mar 20th 2008 1:23PM Oh please (this is directed to the comments, not the original article)
Horsley was denied entry because the immigration people googled him, and found evidence of *past* drug use. He is sober, and has been for 3 years according to the press release that went out. Given that we have a PRESIDENT who admits to past drug use, why on earth are immigration - who are supposed to be protecting us from people trying to blow us up, or smuggle drugs into the country or whatever - denying artists entry because their past is a bit shady?
Would the same rule apply to Paul McCarthy (who has a conviction for a pot bust?) How about if Britain denied entry to George Bush (cocaine) or Bill Clinton (weed)?
Of course the Uk is slightly less regressive than the US, and it has always been the case. But maybe its time for the US to experience how it feels to have the shoe on the other foot?
