Trashy + Trashed = COOL. Man, where are all the RSS readin’ hipsters to back me up here?

as the co-editor of ES, i think obama looks both trashy (for smoking) and trashed (can you say 2am booze-fest)

thank you.

I think it makes him look more like Bourdain – never a bad thing on this blog.

that’s a fake ciggarette, not that I care either way, but it definately hurts your credibility.

Case in point: I’ve never read your blog before, and now I’m less likely to because you’ve made me focus on the doctored photo instead

The problem, Tina, is you’re looking at it from a 21st century perspective where everything causes cancer and we expect government to create laws to protect children who have the compulsion to emulate everything they see. Google pics of Sinatra, Humphrey Bogart, Miles Davis, and James Dean to see why a cigarette was an icon of cool.

I’m not a smoker, but if I were running for President I’d need a cigarette every now and then. He looks cute with the cigarette and it shows that he’s human just like the rest of us.

Endless Simmer, you are so right on. Mmm, Obama beer. And no, I cannot think of any way the man could possibly be cooler.

I hate smokers, this is a disgusting photo. Maybe to you it’s cool. To me it sets a bad example. Sorry.
