cspan caller: 'they should air drop CIGARETTES into the disaster area

[mopaul]

and she was dead serious, suggesting that it would calm their nerves and ease their addictions and the tobacco lobby should be rushing aid in the form of cigarettes, not insulin, vaccines, but cigarettes.

god some folks are stupid

[ohio_liberal]

1. Sure, light a match

Better hope your home's gas lines are still intact. :(

[Guaranteed]

2. Who couldn't use the smooth, fresh taste of a Laramie

at a time like that?

Good chance to get some six-year-olds started.


This coming from a smoker.

[sniffa]

3. did she specify a brand?

[mopaul]

4. i suggest camel non filters

[Ravenseye]

5. Reminds me of that Simpsons episode

Where the mob stole the cigarette truck and the mayor held a press conference where the Laramie representative assured everyone that a new shipment of that "cool laramie flavor" was on the way...

or some such...

[Guaranteed]

6. LOL there it is... nt

[Starbucks Anarchist]

9. Or the episode where Lisa found the "angel" and Homer made angel ashtrays.

When someone steals the angel, Homer says, "What am I gonna do with all these angel ashtrays?" Bart says, "I could take up smoking." Homer replies, "You damn well better."

[Ravenseye]

13. Or back to that other episode when bart has hundreds of cartons..

..stashed in his room and HOmer comes in and gets upset....

"I'm going to stand here and watch you smoke every single one of these cigarettes...that'll teach ya"

[ET Awful]

16. What about Tomacco?

:evilgrin:

[Ravenseye]

17. LOL

:rofl:

[kysrsoze]

19. That is my favorite episode. Loved the angry look on the animals' faces.

[UKCynic]

7. I have never smoked

but my parents did. If they were in a crisis like this I would be hoping that they had their cigarettes with them, because I know how much they would need them. Addiction is a terrible thing. And the craving is apparently far worse in times of stress.

[Hubert Flottz]

8. They should air drop Commander BushCo and his team into NO

The GOPers could suck the water out of there in 30 seconds for a dollar.

[meegbear]

10. Why don't they also pours gallons of hot coffee on them too?

Coffee ... "it picks you up and calms you down".

[ThomWV]

11. Why Not?

Look, there are people who smoke. I don't myself, and don't care to be around cigarette smoke, but as an exsmoker I understand. I don't see it as much different than Pampers to be quite honest about it. Neither is necessary but each certainly is desirable to have if you are a person who needs it.

[Zynx]

12. Yeah. Let's give 'em lung cancer too.

[swimboy]

14. They could all be feeling so alive with pleasure!

[liberalitch]

15. They should airdrop howard zinn readings

[Spangle]

18. She has a point.. if there wasn't that little issue about BLOWING UP

For a smoker, it really will do those things.

Not the most important thing they need, that is for sure. LOL!

However, it would cause fires and could cause the water to blow up in peoples faces. NOT a good idea.

However, the MRE.. they give you matches to light the "heater" that comes with it.

[ThomWV]

24. Not Really

The upper and lower explosive limits of natural gas are very close together. No one is going to set off an explosion with a cigarette. If the gas concentration was that high not only would you smell it (the smell in gas is injected right into the wells so its always noticable) but you would not be able to breath.

[mopaul]

20. if it were me, i'd want marijuana air dropped, talk about calming

[ThomWV]

22. Belligerence: Telling A Person Who's Lost It All They Can't Have A Smoke

or is the word arrogance?

[TNOE]

21. No Mopaul - she was being a smart-ass

towards the end of her call she snickered - its the Repuke mem - I remember one rich white boy I worked with said he wishes all the blacks would smoke cigarettes so they would all die off sooner.

However - I must say - Sherrod Brown ROCKED! I only saw last bit of it, but he was awesome. He nailed every caller I heard - saying I see you are reading from the Rove script, you are one of the only 35% that will support this pResident no matter what apparently, and the guy who said FEMA had done a great job - nailed him too as apparently being the only one who thought so. I have never seen or heard of Sherrod Brown before - but HE WAS AWESOME!

[bluedog]

23. she was an troublemaker.as in the

Democratic party buying votes for cigarettes .......

[Hubert Flottz]

25. Acapulco Gold 100s...Long in the leaf and short in the can...

No stems no seeds that you don't need, Acapulco Gold is bad assed weed!

For medical treatment only...
