Hillary Clinton: Mao do you do?
Chicago Tribune ^ | May 16, 2008 | James Oliphant

At HillaryClinton.com, they're selling a new power poster of the candidate.

Check it out for yourself: Hmm. Does this poster, maybe, look familiar to you? Something's bothering us. . .can't quite place it. . .wait, don't say it. . . .

Oh . . . yeah: But despite the similarity, the Clinton poster was not created by some Communist Party apparatchik, but by a Hollywood screenwriter. (We've taken you this far, you can supply your own joke here.) He's identified by the website as the writer of "Eraser."* Yes, it really does say that.

His name? Tony Puryear. And he says of the poster: Senator Clinton is a beautiful, strong and inspiring woman, and I wanted to make a poster that reflected that. Rather than putting a slogan on the poster, I chose to put her name, because she is surely the only leader at this level with whom we are all on a first-name basis, and to me, that reflects her personal warmth and connection with ordinary Americans.

Yes, nothing says personal warmth and connection like a Red Chinese dictator.

OMG. I clicked though and it’s real. Does her campaign own this website? Or does somebody else?
