Matt Drudge is an amazing journalist, with faultless tabloid news judgment. This morning he circulated the "Dressed" photo of Obama, in which he looks like a Muslim, the picture taken in Kenya when he dressed in local costume, as a Somali elder. Drudge said that the Clinton people were circulating the photo, to undermine Obama.
Well now on Drudge, attached to the same report, are three photos of other leaders in local costume: Clinton, Bush, and Hillary (wearing a headscarf in a Muslim country). This motion of fairness on Drudge’s part was transparently fed by Obama’s people. They know how important Drudge is, and wanted to make sure the political conversation included the important fact that Obama was hardly alone in going native. Watch for it on the national news and Chris Matthews tonight. What an amazing world we live in.
