Tom DeLay: Condemns Castro, Cuba, But Loves Toking on Those Fine Cuban Cigars

Besides regularly violating federal rules about smoking in/around federal property, Time tells us that Tom DeLay, who has suggested more than once that we should invade Cuba just to oust Fidel, also smokes cigars from there.

You know those cigars. The ones that are illegal to have here. But Tom and men like Arnold Schwarzenegger, also a fan of these cigars, consider themselves exempt from the same laws that punish us.

After all, we're just cheap trash. They're important.

Even Americans licensed to bring back up to $100 worth of Cuban goods are no longer allowed to include tobacco products in what they carry. The regulation also noted that Americans are barred not only from purchasing Cuban goods in foreign countries, but also from consuming them in those countries.
