Democrat Drug Dealer
The FBI has arrested a city political figure in New Jersey on charges she sold crack cocaine for a street gang.
A cooperating federal witness bought 169 vials of crack from Sophia Merritt two weeks after she was elected to the Democratic committee in June 2002, according to a court document filed by the FBI. She was 18 at the time.
Several weeks later, Merritt was seen in a car with more than a pound of cocaine, the filing said.
"She was a full-time narcotics dealer," Assistant U.S. Attorney Marc Agnifilo told The Star-Ledger of Newark.

Matt's Chat
It will be interesting to see if Democrats support this woman or if they abandon her. My money is on her gaining support from the Democratic Party.I'm torn on this one. I mean she was 18 at the time of the crime, but a drug dealer really shouldn't be acceptable in the political world. I mean, this goes way beyond inhaling... (Question: does anybody know how old Ms. Merritt is now?)
Mark's Remarks
Hey, we all know she will at least get support from Bill Clinton...but only if she likes cigars....Seriously, we now see what types are running the Dims. Drug Dealers on committees, adulterers, liars, cheats...wow, sounds like the Clinton White House. Is this the organization you want leading the nation in this time of crisis? I think not.
