Interestingly, a search does come up with a few articles bearing the right headline, but they must not have liked what the few first lines of the article said.
The real article said she'd propose whatever gimmick would help to win an election.
Adman didn't like the way those lines looked so they plugged something else in.
Just bogus! That whole campaign doesn't value honesty.

Despite what her campaign had said about latte sippers, the ad features (what looks to me like) a Starbucks barista????
Why would a working class campaign feature something so elitist? Or are latte sippers not elitist after all? Which one is it, Hillary????

a/ change it b/ take it down c/ fire their ad folks d/ fire the people responsible for firing their ad folks e/ blame it on Obama f/ spontaneously combust in a fit of sheer incompetence.

because of all the hating we've done here regarding the rank incompetence in making that ad, and Hillary had to be notified about some deaths in the campaign, that would be a 3 a.m. call about sniper fire.
"Homeless veteran" should be an oxymoron.

The Ad was photoshoped over, probably using the Clone tool to remove Spitzers name from the text but the person doing the PS'ing probably was too young to know WTF Troopergate was.
http://www.nydailynews.com/news/politics/2007/12/18/2007-12-18_gov_spitzer_aides_mum_on_private_lawy er_-3.html ALBANY - Gov. Spitzer and his aides won't tell New Yorkers whether he has a private attorney to represent him in the Troopergate scandal. At a tense press conference at the state Capitol on Monday, Spitzer also refused to discuss the parallel probes by the Albany district attorney's office and the state Public Integrity Commission, insisting, "I have answered all these questions at length." "Obviously, we are cooperating fully," he said. "It is their job to do what they do," Spitzer said of investigators. "It is my job to cooperate, which is exactly what I have done. I have answered all the questions, over and over." But Senate Investigations Committee Chairman George Winner (R-Elmira) said the governor was engaging in "more stonewalling" by refusing to tell the public whether he has retained a private attorney. "This man is incapable of leveling with anyone," added Winner, whose committee has met stiff resistance from the administration on its subpoenas seeking e-mails and other documents relating to the effort by Spitzer aides to discredit Senate GOP leader Joe Bruno. Spitzer did acknowledge, as reported in yesterday's Daily News, that his office received a new subpoena from Albany County District Attorney David Soares in the reopened investigation into the scandal. Meanwhile, The News learned that the administration's chief counsel, David Nocenti, a witness in the Troopergate affair, has hired Albany lawyer Peter Moschetti, and another high-ranking Spitzer cabinet member, Sean Patrick Maloney, has retained Manhattan lawyer Bart Schwartz.

The sniper fire story is still on her web site.
I remember landing under sniper fire. There was supposed to be some kind of a greeting ceremony at the airport, but instead we just ran with our heads down to get into the vehicles to get to our base.

get lost. There is an actual article by that title from AP that was written on May 3, 2008: Obama attacks Clinton's gas tax plan.
Couldn't somebody in the graphics department just copied the article, create columns, paste the words into the columns, change the font to Times or Georgia and then slap on the headline?? Hell, I'm a novice with Photoshop, but even I could do that.

The real article opens with:
Barack Obama said Saturday that Hillary Rodham Clinton's support for a summertime break from the federal gasoline tax symbolizes a candidacy consisting of "phony ideas, calculated to win elections instead of actually solving problems."
so maybe the didn't want this message to be legible...

Obama, but throws the Democratic Party under the bus as well by pulling up Spitzer's downfall.
She's a class act, all right.
That she shoots herself in the foot again with the reminiscence of her own husband's Troopergate is just icing on the cake at this point.
What a perfect little fuckin' princess.
