March 19th, 2007
the original is now up to 748,000+ views. this chron article points out that whoever made this isn’t necessarily an Obama fan:
“It killed two birds with one stone,” [Chris Finnie, a Santa Cruz-based Democratic operative] said, by sharply attacking Clinton as being a political drone and smudging “Obama’s positioning as the ‘Mr. Clean’ of politics.

this is going to be an interesting election season now that web 2.0 is in full bloom.
