No one doubts that Hillary Rodham Clinton would like to move beyond recent coverage of her memories of Bosnia. She did so today with stunning skill and professionalism. In a refreshingly candid interview this morning, Hillary Rodham Clinton spoke of her childhood. In the interest of reinforcing her claim to be the "most transparent candidate," she commented on her parents, childhood, and early adolescence in no uncertain terms.

Journalists and pundits worldwide are heralding her bravery and heroism for being so forthright with the American people:

"Forget Pinnochio, we give her four stars, Hollywood stars" -The Washington Post

"Whew, we were starting to worry about having endorsed her" -The New York Times

"Finally, a candidate with the type of cajones it will take to turn this economy around" -The Wall Street Journal

"Where have I heard that before?" -Wayne Campbell

It seems that Obama supporters aren’t the only ones upset about the picture that was released of Senator Obama in traditional Somali dress. The Obama camp responded as well to the release of the photo. According to International Business Daily today: (updated with Free Republic link taken out. I had no idea it was held with such disdain around here. I'll update again as soon as more "legitimate" places pick up the story.)

Obama has battled a whispering campaign by fringe elements who wrongly say he is Muslim and his aides accused Clinton's campaign of "the most shameful, offensive fear-mongering" after the photograph was published.

But is the Obama campaign and his supporters the only ones who are upset? It appears not.
Wajir elders have submitted a complaint to the U.S. Embassy in Nairobi. They are also holding their own investigation:

They said they would also convene a traditional Somali court to investigate the matter. It can impose fines that are payable in cattle, goats or camels.

I’ve seen several examples of a double-standard this campaign season, particularly when it comes to the battle between Senators Clinton and Obama. There’s yet another example out today.

On the same day that Mark Penn complained about the media not covering the Rezko "scandal" anymore, the Clinton campaign has refused to return contributions made by a firm that is under investigation for sexual harassment, and is run by a disbarred CEO with a criminal record.

As stated on MSNBC’s "First Read."

Sen. Hillary Clinton has declined to return $170,000 in campaign contributions from individuals at a company accused of widespread sexual harassment, and whose CEO is a disbarred lawyer with a criminal record, federal campaign records show.
