It might have seemed funny during the party. But a photo has surfaced of former President Barack Obama's chief speechwriter, Jon Favreau, groping a cardboard cutout of the administration's Secretary of State, Hillary Clinton.
That's Favreau on the left in the above photo (the fellow in the Obama staff T-shirt pouring beer in the pretend politician's mouth is unidentified). The photo was first published on the Washington Post's 44 blog.
The shot of the 27-year-old writer with his hand on the 60-year-old cardboard Hillary's breast reportedly appeared for about two hours on a Facebook page afternoon before disappearing, along with numerous other Favreau pictures, including one of him dancing with the cardboard female secretary-designate.
An Obama spokesman said Favreau has apologized to the former first lady, who gave Obama a run for his massive piles of money during the 2008 Democratic primaries.
The official said Favreau has "reached out to Secretary Clinton to offer an apology," an unfortunate choice of words under the photographic circumstances.
The embarrassing photo came at the same time as Obama had re-issued an appeal to his supporters to make minimum $100 donations to Clinton's deceased campaign to help retire some $7 million of remaining debts, since Clinton was then on Obama's team as its chief foreign affairs representative.
Wouldn't you like to have been at that first White House Obama Cabinet meeting? One suspects Favreau was too busy elsewhere to attend.
