Remember when Billy Clinton admitted he smoked pot in college, but "didn't inhale"? That's when accusations of drug use amongst political candidates became useless for ending their career. Everyone stopped caring about drug use, not to mention adultery, and a whole raft of other vices that would have been a death sentence just 10 or 15 years earlier.
