Number 2: Sarah Palin

Sarah Palin.

Onetime Republican vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin hasn't exactly quavered when folks have quizzed her about pot, as is clear in this excerpt from an AOL News article headlined, "Sarah Palin: Smoking Pot is No Big Deal:"

Has the former Republican vice presidential candidate ever lit up a joint?

You betcha. In Alaska, it was legal to smoke small amounts of marijuana until four years ago, and Palin has said that she's tried it but didn't like it.

"I can't claim a Bill Clinton and say that I never inhaled," she told the Anchorage Daily News in 2006.

Number 1: Bill Clinton

Bill Clinton.

During the 1992 presidential race, supporters of President George H.W. Bush pummeled Clinton with character issues, suggesting that he'd dodged the draft to get out of Vietnam War service and had partaken in the demon weed. Clinton famously attempted to squash the latter rumors by saying that people during his youth may have thought he'd smoked marijuana, but he'd only pretended to do so and "didn't inhale."
