Saddam Hussein isn’t thrilled about being cooped up in jail — who would be? — but at least the deposed Iraqi dictator isn’t being denied one of his supreme pleasures: a fine Havana cigar. Saddam receives his cigars from his daughter, Raghad, who sends them through the International Red Cross. The irony, of course, is that Saddam can smoke like a chimney while incarcerated at a U.S. military base but he’d be busted for hawking one on the streets of New York, since the economic embargo against Cuba makes selling the cigars illegal on American soil.

when the Republicans had their convention in san diego, Tijuana was stocked up with cuban cigars. I called local RW blowhard roger hedgecock, suggesting on live radio, that that is hypocritical and treasonness (sp?).
His response? that he had word that those were FAKE cubans.
I replied that it was the intent, but that I would settle for Attempted treason when he hung up on me.
