Look at that snakes wet lips wrapped around that Cuban cigar. What a hypocritical POS!




EDIT:

For context....here's the TIME story about this unfortunate situation (unfortunate for Delay!)

And for even more context...here's the photo the actual photographer sent me after "ruining" it.

4. IEWWWWW!!!! Look at that ugly malformation on his face...

oh wait that is his face. I think he is the lowest form of human life.

5. What's he doing to that thing? Felating it?

He looks quite at ease with a big one shoved between his lips. I wonder if he does Jimmy Jeff that way? Platonically, of course!

The cigar in question is an "Hoyo de Monterrey" Double Corona

[Toots]

16. Rush openly brags about smoking them

Both Rush and Delay say we need stronger sanctions against Cuba and as proof of the traitors they are we see them smoking Cubans in direct violation of American Policy they helped to institute.

15. Silly Bear!

The laws don't apply to THEM!
They have "mitigating circumstances". Always.

Do as they say, not as they do.

[Harper_is_Bush]

19. Well, to be fair to Mr. Delay.... .... ....

it wasn't illegal at the time to partake of Cuban products in foreign lands as it is now for Americans.

The land of the free, eh? ("eh" means "huh" in American:))

You can check the date of his partaking at the TIME link in the topic post.

What I'm most amazed at is the hypocrisy. This guy is obviously a meglomaniac and perhaps a sociopath. Maybe that's where lot's of sociapaths end up...in rightwing politics.
