VanderLeest led the recall drive against our Teamster brother, Wisconsin state Sen. Dave Hansen. On Tuesday, Aug. 9, voters will decide whether they want a champion of the middle class or a candidate who appears to be a crackpot (we couldn't resist).
Talking Points Memo reports that VanderLeest and Hansen were interviewed this morning on Wisconsin Public Radio.
"I read a social services report yesterday that says I smoke crack," said VanderLeest, during an interview on Joy Cardin of Wisconsin Public Radio. "None of it's true. I don't smoke rocks, and that's the truth."The twitter traffic on this is hilarious. Some favorite tweets:

Hey Tweeps, any of you know needlepoint? I'll pay good money for an "I don't smoke rocks, and that's the truth" sampler.@ddayen:
Best campaign slogan ever: "I don't smoke rocks, and that's the truth."@Coginwi:
Vanderleest - Crack, Pot? Damn the Interviews@lawofdan:
Nothing says "stays away from crack cocaine" like talking about "smoking rocks"
