Big Tobacco "Killing Our Enemies"

Heading out to lunch today, I briefly listened to my (a-hem) favorite talk show host, Rush Limbaugh. It took about one minute for him to reaffirm his (a-hem) favored place in my heart. Responding to a caller complaining about increasing smoking rates, Rush said, "Big Tobacco's making their money by killing our enemies."

In light of Rush's immense wisdom, I thought it might be helpful to take a look at which "enemies" are being targeted by Big Tobcacco, that ever-faithful friend of America:

1. Women in China, women in South Africa, and children in developing countries

2. Everyone in Africa, Brazil, Turkey, China, India, and Indonesia

3. Romanians, Poles, Mexicans, Tunisians, Turks, and all Africans

4. American kids

5. American women

Funny, I don't see anyone from the "Axis of Evil" on the list. Nor do I see any terrorist countries. I guess this is just another example of what Al Franken is always pointing out: Rush just pulls stuff out of his butt.
