When a recent photo of President Obama showed him to be holding “something roughly cigarette-packed-shaped,” a chain reaction quickly fired up.
Inquiring minds now want to know just what the president was hanging on to. An old habit? Or
perhaps just a deck of cards.
It took an ace writer like Philip Bump of The Washington Post
to dig down deep into the matter. After
mulling over the sordid possibilities, Bump concluded: We are, none of us, without our bad habits… Therefore, for God’s sake, let the man smoke an
occasional cigarette if he wants to.
Bump then invited everyone and his brother-in-law to e-mail harangues about “how irresponsible that attitude is.” His only stipulation regarding such complaints was this: Please include your own personal bad habit and what your plan is to kick it.
