After the bad press he’s received lately, I’m sure he probably wants one. Try to be funny.
*** UPDATE *** Completely off topic, but while we’re being funny, Adam Nagourney reports that John McCain stumbled a bit today when pressed for several minutes by a reporter in Iowa…
Q: “But you would agree that condoms do stop the spread of sexually transmitted diseases. Would you say: ‘No, we’re not going to distribute them,’ knowing that?â€
Mr. McCain: (Twelve-second pause) “Get me Coburn’s thing, ask Weaver to get me Coburn’s paper that he just gave me in the last couple of days. I’ve never gotten into these issues before.â€
Then Nagourney writes…
This went on for a few more moments until a reporter from the Chicago Tribune broke in and asked Mr. McCain about the weight of a pig that he saw at the Iowa State Fair last year.
Wonder who that was? Perhaps these guys can fill us in.
*** UPDATE *** Looks like we have our answer…
[McCain has] also made what he calls “the obligatory visit” to the Iowa State Fair to view a 1,187-pound pig named Waldo and eat pork on a stick, all rites of passage for those who wish to become president.

Let’s start a poll and try to determine what brand he smokes or smoked, if he really quit.

As Blago looks. Obama: Hey, Rod, where is your tax-increase proposal so I can put his cig out?
Comment by Tax Man Friday, Mar 16, 07 @ 1:25 pm
Looks like I picked the wrong week to read the governor’s budget and quit smoking.

Only two more hours of this and I can get some sleep.

They say he isn’t black enough but it sure looks like a KOOL to me. Notice the gold trim on the filter. They match the rims on his escalade.

Are the cameras gone? Can I wash the makeup off yet?

“Hillary Clinton’s campaign today was caught taking this photograph of a Barack Obama look-alike smoking a cigarette during the filming of a commercial due to air in states that have enacted popular smoking bans. The Barack Obama look-alike was also observed smoking on a set made to look like the children’s ward of a hospital complete with sick children. Back to Diane with the latest update on Angelina Jolie’s newly adopted child.”

Honestly, the cigarette looks edited in to me. I’m not saying that is the case–just looks that way.
Comment by Squideshi Friday, Mar 16, 07 @ 4:39 pm
Thanks HD. I knew what you meant, but I gotta try to keep things under a little control here. lol

Don’t worry. If I get cancer, I’ll just cure myself.

In answer to the questions about what brand he smoked, towards then end in Spfld I think he was mainly an OPC guy. (Other people’s cigarettes)
Comment by Rich Miller Friday, Mar 16, 07 @ 4:48 pm
I can’t make up my mind - its either a winston or a kool. Seems like the picture is a bit old, like before he ever got here to Springfield.
Comment by Smoker Too Friday, Mar 16, 07 @ 4:48 pm
I’m thinking “rat pack”. How about you?
Comment by Anon Friday, Mar 16, 07 @ 4:51 pm
Rich:
you must be kidding.
He always smoked OPs in SPI.
There is no recorded sighting of money ever leaving the wallet to buy.

Don’t tell Michelle you saw me with a cigarette. I can stand the media on my back but not Michelle too.
