This morning, Barack Obama's spokesman Bill Burton attacked John McCain for not returning campaign contributions from Clayton Williams, a man who once joked about rape during his 1990 Texas gubernatorial race against Ann Richards.
Was Burton aware that Obama's buddy Al Franken, the Democratic Senate candidate in Minnesota, has cracked a rape joke or two when he wasn't writing porn?
Al Franken and his "Midwest Values PAC" have made contributions to numerous Democrats, including senators Dick Durbin, Jim Webb, and Hillary Clinton. Will Obama call on Democrats to return Franken's filthy lucre? Will Obama refuse to campaign with Franken or call on Franken to end his bid for U.S. Senate?
I asked Bill Burton these questions in an email this morning. He has not yet responded.
