As California rots the vultures are circling the carcus. This bickering over the spoils has the grace of a food fight inside the inmate cafeteria at Dachau.

Meathead needs a brain transplant, his mouth works full time as usual.

the hospital proposal, which calls for a $1.50 tax on each pack of cigarettes to fund emergency rooms

Why only $1.50 per pack if it's such a good cause? Why not $2 or $5 or $30 per pack? Think of all the money they could raise!

	"If the initiative remains in its current form, I will have no other option but to actively and aggressively oppose it," Reiner said in a letter to C. Duane Dauner, the association's president.   What a narcissist!

"We all share the goal of reducing the harmful effects of smoking and improving access to health care," Reiner wrote.

Everyone except you, Mr. Reiner. You're willing to sell out that goal in exchange for a few more tax dollars.

Did he threaten to eat them?

First Five spends more money advertising for subjects then on the kids. It is nothing more than a continuing campaign for the Cradle to Grave brainwashing the kids against their parents.

Who the #%#@ is this #$%%#@# meathead to go around making threats?

[freekitty]

You would think this guy thinks he is God.

I'd say an additional $1.50/pack tax would set the right conditions for a thriving black market in CA, if there isn't one already.

I would suggest the hospitals begin lobbying for a $2 per 100 foot surcharge for each showing of each print of a motion picture. With all the movie theatres playing movies at almost all times, there is bound to be some money to be made. The motion picture industry has gotten away with ruining health for far too many years.

High fat hot butter ... high calorie sugary candies ... high fat, trans-fat ice cream ... high calorie sugary sodas ... tooth-decay inducing gums and candies ...

Heart disease, high blood pressure, acne, you name it and the movie industry has contributed to it.

It's time to make them pay!

Reiner championed a 1998 ballot proposal slapping a 50-cents-a-pack tax on cigarettes to fund health and education programs for children up to 5 years old

I wonder how Robbie would feel if I proposed a $1 tax on all movie tickets to help Iraq veterans and their families?

[Checkers]

"Reiner, who finds himself in the awkward position of arguing against a tax increase..."

Reiner. A colassal @$$hole.

[DumpsterDiver]

A ping for a fight between the rabid anti-smokers of California.

It's Rob Reiner vs The Anti-Smokers Who Are Trying To Get The Money That Reiner Considers His.

Who will win the battle for the smokers' money?

;^)

[who knows what evil?]

"If the initiative remains in its current form, I will have no other option but to actively and aggressively oppose it," Reiner said in a letter to C. Duane Dauner, the association's president.

As much as I loathe Bill Maher; I get the impression Reiner is cruising for one of those 'Get Over Yourself' awards Maher used to hand out long ago.

[elkfersupper]

Whores. All of them.

[Lancey Howard]

Sounds like Meathead is in charge of things in Kalifornia.

[Rastus]

"If the initiative remains in its current form, I will have no other option but to actively and aggressively oppose it," Reiner said in a letter to C. Duane Dauner, the association's president.

Oh, how frightening! Rob Reiner on the warpath, fighting girlymano a girlymano against his fellow lefties!

[Sunshine Sister]

They just never learn do they? They want smokers to fund all kinds of programs. That begs the question. Aren't they encouraging smoking?
