A mild one, but a mistake nonetheless. Basically, LA comedy club Laugh Factory put up a video of standup comics telling jokes about Hillary Clinton, and the Clinton campaign promptly freaked:
[Laugh Factory owner Jamie] Masada told Judicial Watch that, as soon as the video [called “Hillary vs. The First Amendment”] got posted on the Laugh Factory website, he received a phone call from a “prominent” person inside Clinton’s campaign. “He said the video was disgusting and asked who put me up to this,” Masada said. The Clinton staffer, who Masada did not want to identify, also demanded to know the names and phone numbers of the comedians that appear in the video. Masada refused and hung up.
(Via TheLid, via Instapundit) Bolding mine. Anyway: next time? Identify the staffer. Because you want to embarrass fools. It’s sometimes the only way to teach one.

PS: Hillary Clinton does not enjoy Barack Obama’s media immunity. And ain’t that a shame?
Hillary! would appear to have even thinner skin than Dear Leader. this promises a bunch of fun soon. is it too soon to create a robo-denunciation for her, like boing boing did for Kim Il Dwarf?
Such a missed opportunity for the Clinton campaign. When asked about the jokes they could have shrugged and said “A cat may look at a king,” and then led off on how some people in public life can’t take a joke, but not Hillary!

Instead you get the idea they are completely like Kruschev – not getting the hep air that the cool cats and kittens scent at all.

“Inspirational yet with the spirit of the times, da comrade?”
