Manchester NH -- Mark Penn, senior political strategist for the Hillary Clinton campaign, today urged Barack Obama to "come clean" and admit that he has fathered two African American girls.
Penn, speaking to reporters on the Manchester airport tarmac as he was getting his hair re-slimed, defended raising the issue on the grounds that his candidate is losing and he needed to throw as much shit at the wall as possible in hopes that something will stick.
"I'm merely pointing out that the senator has two children", Penn gurgled through layers of gelatinous neck fat, "yes they were born in wedlock, but the fact of the matter is they are not white and it's merely something for rural New Hampshire women over age 65 to consider". Penn added he had no "specific evidence" that Obama had "ever given or sold" the girls drugs.
In a related development, long time Clinton bagman Terry McAuliffe urged independent Granite State voters to "find something else to do next Tuesday". "For this to be a change election", he said, "we need our kind of turnout".

Too funny!
Some of the serious comments here are funnier than the post. No wonder we have an idiot in the W.H.
A sad and disturbing story about Obama..if true he has some explaining to do..maybe he could also address his Islamic past, drug use, Chicago land deals, and when exactly it was he stopped beating his wife
Mark Penn is right!
If Obama has, indeed, fathered two African-American females = - whether in or out of wedlock - he should stand up like a man and own up to what he has done!
Penn would do better to sell His candidate, not spend his time trying to slime attack her opponents. People didn't caucus for Hillary because of Hillary not because of Obama.
" Now that the candidates are actually "DEBATING" the differences between their proposed policies, the pundits and talking heads are calling these "attacks."
Too bad these experienced campaign leaders can't see that. Hillary losts votes due to those absurd personal sttacks from Sheehan and Penn.
The MSM didn't help Hillary either. For months we have been subjected to televised quiz shows with question and answer sessions, 30-second responses, lightening rod rounds and a show of hands. Not to mention the "gotcha questions.
So, as far as the pundit shills are concerned, there is no difference between the politics of personal destruction and the honest political discourse on the issues. And that is how they control the public understanding and earn their fat salaries.
this has to be satire....
As an African American Hillary supporter I would like to say that if she allows this crap to go forward I will not support her ever again. And she will lose the Arican American vote pulling this republican bullshit!!!!
My God, this is terrible! How low would someone stoop to get "dirt" on Senator Obama? And how awful of Mark Penn to bring his family in the mud-slinging? We should all be glad that Mr. Obama and his family are safe, after what happened with that terrible earthquake in Iowa.
Hillary, lets not have politics as usual, dump this moron before he puts his foot any further down his throat. If you want my vote, show me what you've got and the rest will take care of itself. Cut the slander and be straight with us.
This guy is a sorry excuse for a representative
of your campaign, really sorry.
Semper Fi
Love it guys! Thanks for the laugh.
Look for something really similar to actually show up in tomorrow's news.
Had to laugh today when Obama was asked how the victory in Iowa felt and he replied that his kindergarten teacher knew this was going to happen way back when. You know, when he revealed his rampant ambition to be President at the age of 5.
As I read comments here daily I am becoming more and disillusioned with HuffPost. It had been from the beginning my main source of news, especially political news.
Unfortunately, the writing seems to be appealing more and more to the great illiterate, unread ignoramuses of our country. It is incredible to me that anyone with even the slightest modicum of education or innate intelligence could read this reasonably funny piece and not realize that it is a piece of satire.
How did the readers of The New York Post even find HuffPost?
Disappointed, but not shocked.
It is satire that points on the sad truth that the Clinton campaign hires idiots who say and do horrific things. They are stuck in the past and America needs to move forward. Beyond hate and fear. Just the kind of quality people we can expect them to stuff into government positions if the Clinton dynasty was given another run.
as evidenced by the comments, your "satire" will probably have the same effect on the ignorant as if this had actually happened. way to focus on race!
Why did I think this was truth at first?
Mr Penn has prided hisself on being as good as Karl Rove or even better. Does this sound like something that Mr Rove would say? Mybe it would come from a source to a person who works at a newspaper so rove could be the denier as who said it but rove would know better than to say it himself. This is just the begining of the the rove rag version by mark penn. When people have sooo much money that they can throw out the crap like this then they need less money to do it with.
