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.
