You've got to love how the former community organizer for ACORN, Obama is allowed to smoke. And, ACORN is allowed to pass out cigarettes in return for fraudulent voter registrations but Bette is not allowed to have one.
Sexism I tell you. Pure sexism.
(By the way, Bette only got her distinctive voice from generous lashings of brown liquor and loading docks of cigs.)

Neither have I.
