It's weird when a Reuters story seems like something on Saturday Night Live's Weekend Update:
Kenyan elders may impose a fine on U.S. presidential hopeful Hillary Clinton, payable in livestock, after a photo of her rival Barack Obama in robes dragged their people into the race for the White House.Apprently Wajir elders are very upset about the photograph rumored to have originated from the Hillary Clinton campaign (though the photo is over a year old and was publicized on The Drudge Report) and say they will file an official complaint with the U.S. Embassy in Nairobi. And not only that: "They said they would also convene a traditional Somali court to investigate the matter. It can impose fines that are payable in cattle, goats or camels."
Still, Clinton can avoid a bovine fine, because the clan says, "This whole thing can be avoided if only an apology is made." Well, it's unclear if she'll apologize, since she says her campaign had nothing to do with it. One thing Clinton can apologize for: This insane campaign ad [via Gawker].

Where are these people coming from? Why should she apologize for something she says she didn't do? Also just how many cattle, goats and camels are we talking about? Can a dead cat be used in lieu of half a goat?
Let Obama apologize, he's the one in the picture.
Maybe she can send Bill to them as payment. He hasn't helped her campaign at all.
so obama's getting his kenyan goons to bully clinton now with their sheparding ways? for shame.
Well, I guess if the Clinton campaign used the Drudge Report in the past, people are going to think her campaign used it now. And yes, they have utilized him in the past.
Um, not to be nit picky, but it's San Antonio :)
