Saakashvili to submit to a drug test?
The president of Georgia decided to go along with the proposal by an opposition parliament member Dmitri Lordkipanidze to test all government employees for illegal drugs. Saakashvili said that the test will require a single hair and that he will offer his shortly. In other news, Saakashvili shaved his head bald…
Lordkipanidze’s suggestion of drug-testing the government was more of a jab at the president. If you really test Tbilisi establishment for illegal drugs, there will be nobody left to run the country. Besides, nobody in Georgia really expects the hair submitted for testing to actually belong to any of the government officials.
