Oh, politics! White Senator Hillary Clinton's people are today scoffing at a claim they darkened black Senator Barack Obama's skin tone in a new attack ad. The image on the left shows Obama in last week's Ohio debate, while the image on the right is a screen grab from the Clinton ad. Hmm.

"You are playing with complicated technological mediums here," Clinton campaign spokesman Jay Carson told the New York Post. "Coloration in every single screen shot looks different…It looks different in every single place."

Oddly, Carson later stated that the darker image of Obama wasn't even taken from a Clinton ad: "We don’t know what is up there, but it is not our ad." That, of course, is a total fucking lie, which you can see for yourself on Clinton's Web site.

We're having flashbacks to 1994.
