Remember that iconic photo of a tense President Obama sitting across the table from an allergic Hillary Clinton, along with the rest of the White House kill team that was reportedly taken during the raid of Osama bin Laden’s compound in Pakistan? Well, a Hasidic Brooklyn-based newspaper called Der Zeitung deleted Secretary of State Clinton out of the photo. Orthodox Jews right here in New York City apparently have the same values as our radical enemies abroad when it comes to women in power.
House Speaker-to-be Rep. John Boehner of Ohio and Tears told the incoming psycho/Tea Partying freshmen class of Congressional Republican House reps that “it’s about the people.” Then he laughed maniacally and bit the head off a dove. |NY Times| Read more »
Venezuelan street artists have no love for the U.S. and the New York Times caught up with one of them. Meet Carlos Zerpa, he’s a Caracas-based painter who created this endearing stencil of a headless Secretary Clinton. He describes the piece, modeled after this famous painting, as a “metaphor for an empire that is being defeated.” |NYT|

Secretary of State Hillary Clinton entertained a wacky question while in Saudi Arabia recently, when someone asked if she would leave the country if, god forbid, Sarah Palin ever became president. Apparently, Saudis are just as terrified at the prospect as the rest of America. |Gothamist|
In case you somehow missed it, American student Amanda Knox was found guilty of murdering her roommate by an Italian jury late Friday in what many legal experts are calling a complete farce of a trial. Now it’s possible that Secretary of State Hillary Clinton may enter the fray to bust some Italian skulls over the whole thing. Read more »
Peace-loving, staunchly-neutral Switzerland sure has some aggressively-opinionated newspapers. Previously WOZ, a weekly Swiss rag, made Barack Obama look like the anti-Christ in a print ad. Now, the country’s leading Sunday paper, Sonntagszeitung (literally, Sunday’s newspaper), provides “the insight story” on our new president—SuperBam’s broke. True enough, though not what this former journalist would call especially insightful. At right, is a rotating outdoor billboard from the campaign featuring their inside view of the Secretary of State—Hil’s Bill, but Bill’s also Hil. Or something. Well, like here, I’m sure newspapers are also dying in Switzerland. So Sonntagszeitung? Do whatever you gotta do to sell ink, I guess. Because soon, you’ll probably be broke, too. FYI, previously in what the agency Advico Y&R calls this “Babushka principle” campaign, the paper also looked inside Bush and Putin. |Images: BestAdsOnTV|
In a purely symbolic gesture, the Obamas donated the maximum amount of money they could, $4600 ($2300 each), to Hillary Clinton’s campaign to help her pay off the more than $22 million in debt the junior senator from New York has accrued—$12 million of which she lent herself. That only leaves Clinton with a bill of $21,995,400. |AP|
Leave it up to MSNBC to parse the important issues in today’s joint Barack Obama – Hillary Clinton rally in Unity. The cable news station reported how she “patted him on the back and he kissed her on the cheek.” Also, the prominent Democrats not only sat next to each other on the plane, but they just so happened to wear matching outfits. Obama’s tie matched Clinton’s dress. But the official word from both campaigns is that this was not planned, it’s just good karma. Right!

Senator John McCain is hoping to woo white suburban ‘security moms’—who’ve pledged their undying loyalty to Hillary Clinton—away from Barack Obama with a new page on his website. Citizens for McCain features this psychologically disturbed woman holding up a Clinton campaign sign that’s been vandalized with the Republican presidential nominee’s stickers and repurposed. With these older caucasian ladies considered a key voting block and many of them supposedly fearful of a black man, McCain’s camp is trying desperately to court them. But with Clinton and Obama’s positions on many issues being almost identical, it’s hard to imagine how females with cerebral activity would even consider jumping so far across the aisle and vote for the cunt-calling Senator from Arizona. To help solidify this manic movement from right to left, they brought in the ultimate symbol of convenient aisle crossing trickery: fake Democrat Joe Lieberman offering both his face and endorsement.
A reader sends in a sighting of the Hillary Clinton for Barack Obama image we published earlier this week. This one below ground, spotted in the 23rd Street C and E station (25th Street exit). In a street art imitates life moment, the timing couldn’t be more perfect, with word that the two Democrats will be campaigning together.
