The picture of Obama is such an event for the Clinton campaign. Clinton is trying to use fear, while Obama talks of hope, unless Clinton has something nasty on Obama, this may sink her campaign. http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2008/02/hi_fires_25_feb.html#comment-70065 http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2008/02/hi_fires_25_feb.html#comment-70065 Mon, 25 Feb 2008 15:35:56 -0600 Or in a car in a park in the region of DC... http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2008/02/hi_fires_25_feb.html#comment-70064 http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2008/02/hi_fires_25_feb.html#comment-70064 Mon, 25 Feb 2008 15:33:54 -0600 park bench http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2008/02/hi_fires_25_feb.html#comment-70063 http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2008/02/hi_fires_25_feb.html#comment-70063 Mon, 25 Feb 2008 15:26:58 -0600 Neffi - I'll guess we'll know it was unauthorized if they find a body on the Mena airstrip...* *Tacky reference to fevered conspiracy theories from the 90's. http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2008/02/hi_fires_25_feb.html#comment-70061 http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2008/02/hi_fires_25_feb.html#comment-70061 Mon, 25 Feb 2008 13:57:38 -0600 I've been telling people they'll know that the Clintonistas are *really* desperate when one refers (publicly) to Obama as 'Hussein'. This almost qualifies... HRC seems intent on self-destruction- though I wonder if she was at all consulted before this particular stunt hit the fan. http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2008/02/hi_fires_25_feb.html#comment-70060 http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2008/02/hi_fires_25_feb.html#comment-70060 Mon, 25 Feb 2008 13:45:08 -0600 The Clinton Campaign.

I'm reminded of several such incidents, most memorable is the space center photo of Kerry dressed in what looked like a green Trojan, with the "special receptacle" tip.
