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].
