There is absolutely nothing wrong with an adult having a drink, or even with an adult having an occasional cigarette. Done in moderation, what’s the problem?
I mean, aren’t we all getting a little weary of the finger wagging that erupts, constantly and on all sides, depending on an issue? I certainly am. I’m tired of adults being lectured to by other adults for the lesser sins of the flesh, or the even lesser sins of the carbon, when in the end the sins of the heart are the ones that bring us down.
I say Hillary, have yer wee dram and heave a good cleansing sigh. Unwind a little - after all, on top of all the campaigning, you’ve been to Iraq a couple times.
Seems to me Obama ought to stop clinging to his outdated storyline about Iraq, and go visit the place, as well.
As Hillary said to the questioner at Mt. Rushmore, “go learn something.” (Gad, I’m actually starting to enjoy her!)
I like the ring she’s wearing in the second picture at the link - that looks pretty.
But…maybe it’s because I just saw the Seinfeld episode a few nights ago…does Hillary have MANHANDS?

Mandhands - yes! Can they be helped by a manicure, perhaps?

I don’t really care that Obama smokes, but I’m a little surprised that the first I’ve heard about it was yesterday from his doctor reporting on his health. Maybe I haven’t been paying attention…
Who was the last cigarette smoking president?

Yikes! And to think I was the only one that remembered the “Man Hands” bit… hee

The Anchoress blogs for me:…

Does he have on make-up? lol

I am thoroughly sick and tired of it, that much I do know. I am nearly 66 years old and if I want to carry a couple (or more) extra pounds, smoke occasionally and have a cocktail from time to time - as long as I avoid overindulgence, isn’t it my doggone business? Oh and just for the sanctimonious biddies out there: I see my doctor ONCE a year when I get a clean bill of health and “see you next year”! Harumph!
My happiness for today comes at the hands of Senator Robert Dole’s resounding smackdown of Scott McClellan.
I met the Senator just after the first of the year at a law firm where I was temping and he was of counsel. He is a charming, genuine, intelligent and thoroughly witty man and had he shown all of those extraordinary qualities on the campaign trail, we’d only have had 1 Clinton term, of that I am convinced.
There’s a little rebellion bubbling to the surface. First McCain starts opening his mouth and now Senator Dole is taking a faithless former press secretary to the woodshed. Holy Hannah - are Republicans coming back to life?

Gayle, I won’t believe they’re coming back to life until they get us drilling and exploring and putting a setdown upon Pelosi for her statement that the surge is working because of “Iranian goodwill”

Yes, well Pelosi’s mouth is a never-ending source of irritation to anyone with functioning brain cells, that’s for sure! I try to “offer it up” as the nuns used to advise us - but thanks to La Pelosi, my prayers are nearly constant! Could be worse I suppose.
