Can you imagine how the right would use this if it were Michelle Obama that stole for drugs?

Note this. Rush Limbaugh in the mid 90's said this, well before he was busted for having illegal oxycotton:

"we have laws against selling drugs, pushing drugs, using drugs, importing drugs. And the laws are good because we know what happens to people in societies and neighborhoods which become consumed by them. And so if people are violating the law by doing drugs, they ought to be accused and they ought to be convicted and they ought to be sent up."
