HLN's JOY BEHAR: Are they going from the pro-emphysema vote here?
CNN's JOHN KING: To celebrate smoking at the end of a video I find reprehensible.
CNN's KYRA PHILLIPS: Is it cool, weird, or just inappropriate?
CNN's WOLF BLITZER: He survived stage 4 colon cancer. Anyone promoting smoking, not necessarily a good idea.
FOX's BRIT HUME: What do you get out of having some miscellaneous middle-aged guy smoking a cigarette and saying you're the right candidate?
FOX SPECIAL REPORT panelist JONAH GOLDBERG: You're not allowed to show people smoking.
MSNBC's CHRIS JANSING: At the end, he’s smoking!
Wednesday Rush Limbaugh on the media furor over Cain campaign manager Mark Block's video vérité:
"Herman Cain's getting a lot of mileage out of this. He got a lot more mileage out of this than what the ad cost 'em. That's not too dumb."
Wash Post's Paul Farhi: "Block, and by extension Cain, may be keeping it real for both nicotine slaves and those who don’t like to see them pushed around.What’s more, with his droopy mustache and graying temples, Block is no supermodel. And maybe that’s the point, too. Block is anti-glamorous and anti-slick, in stark contrast to a silky pro like Mitt Romney. The cigarette drag just intensifies the rogue impression: This isn’t about business as usual. And neither is Cain."
And the media give the Occupy Wall Street protesters' illegal joints a pass.
At MSNBC and CNN, they're more used to their smoke coming with mirrors.
