Hillary Gets Funky...Sort Of
A recent photo in the Washington Post shows Barack Obama's head speech writer, Jon Favreau, engaging in inappropriate acts with a cardboard version of Hillary Clinton. One of those acts involves groping the fake Senator and the other involves dancing with her. The pictures appeared on the speech writers Facebook for a brief amount of time and were then taken off, but of course someone discovered them prior to their removal and they ended up in the Post. This article has brought attention to the previous frequent claims of sexism that were brought against the Obama campaign during the primaries. Although the event will likely not produce too much of a backlash, as the future Secretary of State has already responded to the incident in a humorous way, it is interesting to note the minimal media coverage of this event as it truly does seem to point to the media being in favor of Obama. Either way the incident makes for a funny sidenote to the not yet in place Obama administration. By the way, the link includes the picture...check it out.
