Clinton-Obama Mud Fight Gets Dirty


WASHINGTON, D.C. — Barack Obama supporter, David Geffen, took dead aim at Hillary Clinton last week, declaring her to be an incredibly polarizing figure who is too scripted to admit her vote on the Iraq war was a mistake. Clinton’s people responded that Geffen was a Hollywood mogul who was out of touch with American values. They also said that Obama should apologize for Geffen’s remark, return Geffen’s campaign contributions, and change his middle name from Hussein. Obama replied that he should not have to apologize for something that someone else had said, and added that Clinton was an incredibly polarizing figure who is too scripted to admit her vote on the Iraq war was a mistake. Clinton’s people responded that Obama should change his middle name from Hussein, and that they would not return the campaign donations that Bill Clinton received from Geffen. Hillary herself intervened to say that Obama was practicing the politics of personal destruction. “That’s my specialty,” she said. “If he wants to play that game, he’ll be sorry. Look how I destroyed Gennifer Flowers, Paula Jones, Kathleen Willey, Linda Tripp and Juanita Broaddrick, not to mention Vince Foster!” Story by Emma Dubin. Photo by Mike Pasternack.
