IMO, It is more likely that Nader passed along that photo to Drudge.

I think the timing and the photo are part of his package from his Repug backers. Also Rove mentioned a teaser on TV(twice) about Obama's first campaign for Congress about running as Barry, I suspect he has something in that department too. Maybe Obama is not ready for primetime.

4. Slightly off topic
but the recently elected republican governor of Louisiana is a little shit named Piyush Jindal, born in America of Indian Parents. He changed his name to Bobby which he says he got from the Brady Bunch. How sweet. Bobby Jindal has done a great job of buffaloing all the fuckers who are told they are, therefore excepting the mantle of, values voters. Not a reflection on Obama but a cheap ugly name change merely for political purposes by one who has been in politics all his life and yet says he is not a career politician.

5. Nobody passed it to Drudge.
Edited on Mon Feb-25-08 04:28 PM by Kurt_and_Hunter
Leaving aside whether your post is a jest (which seems likely)...


Drudge has had that photo for over a year.

The Republicans have had it for over a year.

The Clinton, Obama, and Edwards campaigns had it for over a year.

It has been on the internet every single day since August 31, 2006.


Drudge simply found a hook to "justify" putting it on his site.

8. Your argument is a hilarious sort of strawman.
The story isn't whether or not the photo was published, it's whether or not the Hillary campaign tried to benefit by bringing undue emphasis to it.

10. The story is in the reaction of the Obama supporters, they are not ready for primetime.

12. Who told you that - Howard Wolfson?
These arguments are so lame it's funny. You couldn't get Santa Claus elected to be head of Christmas with that kind of nonsense.

9. Nader?
I don't think that man has an internet connection and if he does, he's probably using 14K modem on an IBM PS/2 with Windows 3.0.

No, this was a coordinated effort and my bet is that it came from that Penn/Black viper's nest.

13. Of course you do
The point is, is this how you want to play? Littles stabs at meaningless miasma every day?

Aren't you tired of it? Don't you wonder why they keep throwing out this sparkly trash? Don't you think it's tired and old and isn't getting us anywhere? Who cares who sent what to who? Isn't it time to ask why are they insulting us? Why do they keep insisting that this kind of stupid shit is what we want?

The people are speaking and the powers that be are not listening.
