MSNBC's - Chris Hayes To Republicans: “Never get high/on your own supply”

Saturday on MSNBC’s “Up with Chris Hayes,” host Chris Hayes likened Republican “poll truthers” to crackheads, saying that the GOP is “smoking what they’re dealing.” He invoked the late rapper Notorious B.I.G. (aka Biggie Smalls)’s “Crack Commandment” Number 4 to prove his point.

On the posthumously-released 1997 album “Life After Death,” the rapper known as Notorious B.I.G. performed the track “The 10 Crack Commandments,” a manual for life as a drug dealer. Tips for aspiring unlicensed pharmaceutical salespersons included, “Never let no one know/how much dough you hold,” “keep your family and your business/completely separated” and other pearls of presumably hard-won wisdom.

Rule Number 4, as noted by Hayes, is “Never get high/on your own supply,” which, sadly, some on the right seem to be doing with regards to former Gov. Mitt Ronmey (R-MA)’s chances at winning the presidency.
