I am a close personal friend of Mark Penn and Harold Wolfson. Recently, I was permitted to read, but not copy, a secret campaign memo co-authored by Hillary and Bill Clinton addressed to their demoralized campaign staff. The memo lays out many possible paths to victory still remaining in the Democratic nomination process for Hillary. My best recollection of this memo is as follows:
1. Assassination is still on the table, but it is only one possibility out of many. In light of the public furor in response to Hillary's assassination comments, for the time being this possibility will be de-emphasized.
2. Astrophysicists are predicting an increase of meteor showers between now and the Democratic Convention. It is possible that a small meteor could hit Barack Obama in the temple at any time.
3. The most common place where people suffer fatal injuries is in their bath tub and shower. Obama is rumored to bathe every day.
4. It has been reported that Obama likes tofu; it is a little-known fact but many people have died choking on tofu.
5. We are engaged in secret conversations with George Bush and Dick Cheney to encourage them to move up the Iran invasion date from mid-October to the first week in August. We will jump all over this issue in support of the invasion and our brave troops. America likes invading other countries. That peacenik wimp Obama won't stand a chance.
6. Obama uses an airplane to fly to many of his campaign appearances. With the soaring price of jet fuel, there is a chance his plane will run out of fuel in-flight. It is not a glider.
7. Obama plays basketball every morning. It is possible, even likely, that he could suffer serious damage to his knees and not be able to walk between now and November without a walker or wheelchair. No one wants a President in a wheelchair. We know there is the precedent of President Franklin D. Roosevelt, but that was before TV.
The Obama campaign only appears to be strong. Obama actually is quite vulnerable, as this memo has made clear. This is no time to feel bad, be nice or stop attacking [pandering to voters is still OK]. We are in this to WIN so stop grousing about the crappy campaign you all think we have run, think like a pit bull, not a poodle, buck up your spirits and your rhetoric and continue to ATTACK!

Not funny...just as clueless and shameless as the rest of 'em. Toad.
not funny
Despite my low opinion of the Clinton Campaign, even I do not buy this.
This should be entitled "Work of Fiction" or "Mark Penn and Harold Wolfson Are Playing A Joke On Me".
According to Michelle, her children like to come and crawl into bed with her when Barack is not around because he is stinky, which implies that he does not shower everyday. Here's what she said: "We get up and they want ten more minutes so they can come in my bed and if Dad isn’t there - because he is too snore-y and stinky, they don’t want ever to get in the bed with him - but we cuddle up and we talk." So it looks as if the Clinton campaign has not studied up on Obama habits that thoroughly. They should de-emphasize point #3.
Guy Saperstein - you sound like one of those crazy loons.
I don't find the posting funny.
Shame on you.
This is hilarious ... Hillary is a lawyer, she knows what she said (especially because she has said it before), and to say Ted Kennedy was "on her mind" and then reference his brother's assassination? Hillary's poor judgment should confirm to everyone that she should NOT be picked for VP.
