Three cheers to Barack ... for being human! And three cheers to Hillary for considering the whole thing stupid and mildly hillarious

I agree with Hillary's campaign manager, Maggie Williams, who after denying any involvement with the "release" of a public domain photo, remarked, "Enough! If Barack Obama’s campaign wants to suggest that a photo of him wearing traditional Somali clothing is divisive, they should be ashamed."

And that's Mediawingnut's take on the entire episode too. He was in Kenya on a Congressional junket--his father was Kenyan, remember?--and he was simply wearing a traditional Somali elder's robe and turban--at the request of his hosts.

Hillary herself said that she found questions about whether her campaign leaked the photo to be "really laughable."

I agree!

And oh yes, lest we forget, the picture below is of the two primary leaders of the entire world! Wearing traditional garb while abroad is an everyday thing.

Hmm ... Vladimir Putin actually looks cute, don't you think?
