Hiding in Plain Sight

CLICK
No...not Osama ( Usama ויש גורסים ) bin Laden but Hillary Clinton. "Hiding" on the pages of Di Tzitung and "in plain sight" of the rest of the world.

This story was first blogged about by Critical Minyan and Failed Messiah (well, that's about as accurate as the photo-shopped picture, see the next link) featured on Circus Tent and DovBear , picked up by the Jewish Week and has by now made it onto the Huffington Post - AOL Home Page where it will, no doubt, go truly viral. Not just in the J-Blogosphere but around the world.

This is a cautionary tale to my fellow fundies. There is nothing, absolutely nothing, anymore that can be published for internal consumption only. We are transparent. We can only hide those secrets that our lips do not utter and that our presses do not publish. So if any sense of מה יאמרו הגיום or א שאנדע פאר די גוים still exists (though some might argue that, אדרבה , this particular instance is א קידוש שם שמים פאר די גוים though a brief scan of the comments on the Huffington Post article belie this) think about this before you publish or post: Would you want the most skeptical non-Jew or the most rabid Jew hater to see/ read this???

This, of course, applies to all blogs and newspapers except my own.
