This Monday Matt Drudge posted a photo of Obama in a turban and African garb and claimed the picture was being circulated by Clinton campaign staffers (a claim she denies). The previous Monday, Hillary Clinton made headlines when she accused Obama of plagiarizing his speeches from Deval Patrick and circulated YouTube videos comparing the two.
Is it just me, or is there something about Mondays that brings out the dirtiest of politics?
It's almost a given that next Monday, before a primary day that may be more influential than Super Tuesday in deciding the nominee, Matt Drudge will have a juicy surprise waiting for us. Any bets as to what that might be? Perhaps a dug-up photo of Obama and Farrakhan somewhere within 100 feet of each other? Or maybe Hillary will open up find her voice again?
(Note: I'm not claiming her previous tears were anything other than a genuine expression of emotion, but it is worth noting that both times she has made news for crying, or nearly crying, during this campaign have come on Mondays before major elections--once before New Hampshire and again before Super Tuesday).
Betting closes Sunday at midnight.
