Presidential hope-foolwhat's wrong with limo-populists

Have a look at this John Edward's photo, taken by Annie Leibovitz and published in Vogue.

What is the presidential candidate doing? Hammering a nail on what seems to be a fiber cement plank.

Maybe someone should have told John that hammering nails in materials other than wood is a problem - the material cracks if hit by the hammer.

The recommended tool for such job is a pneumatic hammer, but of course that may not look manly enough for John.
