Big Guy got a tip off yesterday that the Senate was going to pass the bill regulating nicotine and tobacco products. Just as his alter ego, President John F. Kennedy did more than 40 years ago when he bought up all the Cuban cigars in town the night before he ordered the embargo of Cuba, Big Guy sent his aide, Reggie Love, out to a 7-11 to buy up as many cartons of high-nicotine cigarettes for his personal stash in the Oval. And a few pack of menthols, along with some of those clove cigarettes that kind of give you a buzz. Now, some people might say that this is hypocritical. Or that Big Guy is using his power and influence to get for himself what he would deny others through legislative fiat. Which is all true.
But does anyone really want a guy in the Oval Office going through nicotine withdrawl with his finger on the nuclear button?
