Put This In The Same Column As The Last One

President Obama still smokes. Shocking, isn't it, that as his day job has gotten more stressful (state legislator, to Senator, to President) he hasn't kicked the habit? Dennis Prager has an interesting theory. He believes most of us need a little vice in our lives, and if someone can use a minor vice, such as smoking or a glass of scotch, to avoid a major vice, like Dick Cheney's hobo-murdering sprees, we should go ahead and do it. If the president wants to take a few puffs, let him do it, just like Governor Sanford should be able to take a hike.
