Clinton Upstaged NEW YORK --The White House has objected to a television advertisement in which a voice imitating President Clinton says the nation's anti-drug policies have failed. The advertisement, by a drug policy reform group and timed for a United Nations summit on drugs, shows a video of Mr Clinton addressing the UN General Assembly. But it includes disclaimers saying Mr Clinton was not actually giving such a speech. The White House said the advertisement violated a long-standing policy against using the image of the President for promotional materials. In the advertisement, a voice imitating Mr Clinton says: "Do you think the war on drugs is a complete failure? I do. Do you think if we spend more money we'll win? Forget it." The Clinton imitator then says: "Heck, we're causing more crime than we're stopping."
