Hopefully. That would be awesome.
Can’t dance. Can’t jump. Can’t govern. White men suck.
HRC is waiting for March 3 to trot out her picture of him wearing his “My good friend Osama bombed NYC and all I got was this lousy T-shirt”.
I acknowledge the issue isn’t proven, but I will tell you why I feel it’s at least likely that someone in the Clinton camp was responsible: the tepid non-denial from the Clinton camp.
News flash! Celine Dion is a Zulu!!!
And he’s the only candidate who could do that by having an affair with a White woman! His deviousness has no end!!
Agreed. How much time do you really think they are going to spend investigating, anyway? They can’t be bothered, since I imagine they already know the answer.
Yes. Plouffe came out firing deriding the Clinton camp:
No matter what you think of Clinton’s campaign - and they certainly might deserve to be looked at askance for their incompetence in many aspects of this campaign - they would have to be incredibly, cosmically stupid to think that this would be a good idea.
It could have easily gotten to Drudge in any number of ways if someone in the Clinton campaign did indeed want to smear Obama, not pointing back at the campaign. If you visit mydd.com and other sites on the blogosphere you’ll see that the picture was up on FreeRepublic Saturday and commenters suggested that someone send it to Drudge.
In reality, Obama’s campaign should apologize for accusing the Clinton campaign of sending the picture without proof beside Drudge’s word. (And yes, Maggie Williams’ first response should have stated that any staffer sending pictures, etc. off-message would be disciplined/shitcanned. I know she used that vague language because it would be easy to slam the campaign if indeed, Wingnut Campaign Peon #700 sent it off in an alcohol-induced haze.) Because if the threshold is “Drudge said it!” it is going to be a long season for BO. I have a feeling there’s going to be all kinds of weird stuff sprouting on that site, and all the RWers have to say is, “Hey, Obama trusts Drudge, so it’s probably true.”
Here’s a cute Wonkette post with pictures of the Clintons doing what heads of state do, which is to dress up in silly costumes.
Isn’t that actually more of a Sikh style turban?
I’m glad to see that Fox News at least corrected their original story accompanying the photo:
Regardless, this image is highly disturbing in its implication that Obama might secretly harbor sympathies toward the Shriners. In these trying times, does America really need a president who might don a fez and run amok in a miniature car at any moment, chucking handfuls of hard candy in the faces of bystanding children?
Of course, there is an alternative: candidate John McCain’s combover can be trusted to slide loose immediately as a safety feature, should he for any reason momentarily succumb to the urge to wear undignified ethnic headgear. McCain’s scalp is rigorously designed to self-destruct entirely before it embarrasses America with dubious foreign haberdashery. Who, then, is the true heir to Reagan’s legacy of change?
Any knuckledraggers who can be swayed by this picture won’t be making that sort of nice distinction. Turban = towelhead = Muslim = terrorist.
You know, the more I think about this, the stupider it seems. If anything, that Obama would wear traditional African dress in Africa makes me more likely to vote for him. In my opinion, this is what America needs - a leader who respects other cultures and is willing to try something new (a new food, a different style of dress) in order to show that respect. A leader whose first impulse on seeing something different isn’t to want to bomb it.
It’s disgusting that some people appear to find his respect for foreign cultures a negative. What a bunch of turds.
Show some respect, that’s part of our culture.
I laughed at this.
Then I thought it over.
Then I wept.
This story just breaking at Fox News:
Hillary in a blue dress.
Film at eleven.
Well, even better would be if he resigned to join them BEFORE January, and took Dick with him…
Well, some of us do…
It’s for the best that things like this get released early on. If this is all the dirt they have on Obama then I feel pretty confident about November.
They look like they’re going in for x-rays.
