    Yes, let's use a little logic

    For those who say that the Clinton campaign hasn't "categorically denied" forwarding the photo of Sen. Obama in traditional Somali dress...

    Maybe they don't want to "categorically" deny it until they've investigated it, and assured themselves that it WASN'T one of their employees or volunteers.....

    I really don't think that Sen. Clinton is stupid.

    There is no way she would have authorized or approved of such an action.

    It's more likely to be a dirty trick by a Republican like Roger Stone...make it look like it's originating from Sen. Clinton (hurt her) AND foster some racism and ethnocentrism which will work against Sen. Obama (hurt him).

    The Drudge report -- we're now believing them?
