Obama Staffer’s Hillary Grope

Question No. 58 in the transition team vetting document for the Obama White House asks that applicants: “Please provide the URL address of any websites that feature you in either a personal or professional capacity (e.g. Facebook, My Space, etc.)”

Question No. 63 asks that applicants “please provide any other information … that could … be a possible source of embarrassment to you, your family, or the President-Elect.”

For a while there this afternoon, President-elect Barack Obama’s immensely talented chief speechwriter, 27-year-old Jon Favreau, might have been pondering how to address that question.

That’s when some interesting photos of a recent party he attended — including one where he’s dancing with a life-sized cardboard cut-out of secretary of state-designate Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton, and another where he’s placed his hand on the cardboard former first lady’s chest while a friend is offering her lips a beer — popped up on Facebook for about two hours. The photos were quickly taken down — along with every other photo Favreau had of himself on the popular social networking site, save for one profile headshot.

He claims to have apologized but I can imagine tensions still exist between them.

    Ahhh who cares.
    It’s funny and I’m sure Hillary is laughing too.
    And if she’s not then that’s her problem.

    Wow, those guys must have been TRASHED! I mean, I’ve hit on some “less than attractive” ladies while I was drunk in my time, but HILLARY?!?! SERIOUSLY?!?!

    I keed, I keed…

    The funny thing is that the people that are going to express the most outrage about this are probably the same people who mock conservative Christian types for being outraged when someone pokes fun at Jesus.

    Hold on their a minute, this guy was Obama’s speech writer. I thought Obama wrote his own speeches. With all the hulabaloo about Palin’s speech at the inauguration, with her speech being written by a speech writer, now we find out Obama wasn’t writing his own speeches. I guess it would be hard to write your own speeches when you don’t even know how many states there is in the United States. How many Barak, oh yeah 57. I wonder if this guy adds all the umms and ahhs in the wording. I guess it would be hard to write yor own speeches when you haven’t taken a speech class. umm, ahhh, duhhh.

    Hahaha great point.
    A white 27 year old male writes speeches that touches liberals hearts. That is awesome!
    That’s as amazing as when I realized Dragonlance was written by women.
