The Clinton Smear Machine Turns The Dial To 11

In another desperate move, someone in the Hillary campaign has circulated a two year old photo of Barack Obama in native Somalian costume. The photo was taken in rural Kenya. Obama was on a five country tour of Africa.

According to the Drudge Report, an email by one staffer asked "Wouldn't we be seeing this on the cover of every magazine if it were HRC?"

Obama's people, of course, accused the Clinton campaign Monday of "shameful offensive fear-mongering." Clinton campaign manager Maggie Williams shot back: "If Barack Obama's campaign wants to suggest that a photo of him wearing traditional Somali clothing is divisive, they should be ashamed."

The Clinton campaign team really has devolved into a cheap-jack mudslinging machine. At this point, if the Senator were running against Idiocracy's Dwayne Elizondo Mountain Dew Herbert Camacho, I'd probably vote for Camacho.

I do believe in hardball, but I also believe that what the campaign is currently promulgating is a hopeless scorched earth policy that can only come back to damage Obama when he faces off with John McCain. It wouldn't have been so unseemly a couple months ago, when the Senator was leading Obama by 15 points, but coming now, when, really, all is lost, it seems crass and desperate.

I will be in Austin in the afternoon tomorrow--which should be interesting. Austin is an Obama hotbed. Who knows, there may even be a candidate around..though I doubt it. She's lost Austin, Obama won't bother showing up in a town he can win hands down, and I doubt if McCain ever bothers to appear.

At this point, I only regret that Hillary is in the race for two more weeks, doing incalculable damage. . . I mean, you yourself pointed out Obama needs no one right now, bue he does indeed need "all hands on deck" come the general. Well, it's time to get all hands on deck and slap a muzzle on Hillary Clinton.; 2/25/2008
