Obama speechwriter photographed groping Hillary Clinton likeness

It might have seemed funny during the party. But a photo has surfaced in recent hours of President-elect Barack Obama’s newly-designated chief speechwriter, Jon Favreau, groping a cardboard cutout of the administration’s newly-designated secretary of State, Hillary Clinton.

That’s Favreau on the left in the above photo (the fellow in the Obama staff T-shirt pouring beer in the pretend politician’s mouth is unidentified). The photo was first published on the Washington Post’s 44 blog.

The shot of the 27-year-old writer with his hand on the 60-year-old cardboard senator’s breast reportedly appeared for about two hours on a Facebook page Thursday afternoon before disappearing, along with numerous other Favreau pictures, including one of him dancing with the cardboard female secretary-designate.
