Omg Obama Secret Muslim!

Regarding the furor over the photo of Barack Obama dressed in Somali garb during a visit to Kenya, Hilzoy at Obsidian Wings has the best take.

A very funny (as well as apt) read Mr. Chait.  A few of my more comical Russian comrades said this upon viewing the photos of Bush holding the hand of his favorite Saudi despot: "Y NEGO POVISHENNAYA GOLYBIZNA."

Don't tell Laura.

Careful, right-wing nuts are going to cite this as proof that "even at the communist New Republic, they acknowledge that Obama's a Muslim."

I didn't know Obama was a Muslim!

Damn, guess I can't vote for him now.

By the way, that's Bush welcoming Putin to the WTO...

Yeah, as if that wasn't a terrific carrot/stick we could've kept held over his head.

It's a nice little illustration of American values, but yeah, we should definitely continue that Cuba embargo boy...
