1. This was such a dick question

By that I just mean it was so silly and asinine, having no intelligent connection or relevance to a bill bringing tobacco companies under FDA oversight. The fact that the president smokes, however much or little, or once did smoke, does nothing but underscore the addictive properties of cigarettes.

EDIT to add: and as someone who quit for six months than began smoking again during a period of great stress, I understand the realities of the fact that once you are a smoker, that battle is with you forever.

2. Give me mellow yellows and pot, and I will quit in a heartbeat. n/t

3. I can't wait to see how Fox spins this one.....

They will probably say that the president "flew off the handle" when asked a tough question.

And you just Know if it was Geroge W. Bush, They would say the "liberal press attacked" him
