Kenyan Campaign Finance Reform: Hillary Must Pay Fine in Cows, Goats or Camels
I can't make stuff like this up. It seems that Hillary Clinton violated Kenyan campaign finance laws by circulating that stupid picture of Barack Obama in turban.
Furious Kenyan tribal elders said yesterday that they may slap Hillary Rodham Clinton with a fine for her campaign's alleged role in publicizing photos of Barack Obama wearing a turban - and it must be paid in cows, goats or camels.
The elders, steaming over the Obama photo smear on the other side of the world, announced plans to convene a traditional tribal court to deal with the matter.
The court could require Clinton to pay a fine in livestock, which is of great value in the far-flung Wazir region of Kenya. The photos were taken there during a visit by Obama, whose father was born in the area.
"We will go ahead with this case whether Sen. Clinton or Democratic Party leaders turn up or not," Mohamed Ibrahim, a member of the clan that hosted Obama during his 2006 trip to the country, told Reuters.
And you thought McCain-Feingold was bad.
