Clinton's response to the day's Drudge
Quote:
The Clinton campaign puts out a response from Maggie Williams, which doesn't respond to the question of whether a staffer was circulating the photo of Obama in Somali garb, but takes issue with the Obama campaign's embrace of the issue:
Quote:
Enough.
If Barack Obama's campaign wants to suggest that a photo of him wearing traditional Somali clothing is divisive, they should be ashamed. Hillary Clinton has worn the traditional clothing of countries she has visited and had those photos published widely.
This is nothing more than an obvious and transparent attempt to distract from the serious issues confronting our country today and to attempt to create the very divisions they claim to decry.
We will not be distracted.

It's not quite Dukasis's "tank" photo, but it'll probably work with the uneducated...
The real question is whether the amount of people angered by the photo itself will overcome the amount of people angered by the perceived context...
I think Obama should say this is a "Karl Rove tactic"...
