It seems like the whole thing's bogus.  The post below is withdrawn, except to say that I was right (it's unbelieveable).  I got punk'd.  Shame on me.

This is unbelieveable.  After all of the HRC campaign talk about Wright's remarks and the supposed "elitism" in the Obama campaign--a subject that merits its own discussion--we see Hillary's advisors exhibiting nothing but the most naked contempt for the people that they supposedly represent.  If there was any "Annie Oakley" mystique to her campaign, this ought to dispel it.

It also says a whole hell of a lot about George Stephonopolous, James Carville, and the general culture of the campaign.  Think for yourselves about the level of comfort that you would have to feel with PROFESSIONAL colleagues to use that kind of language--to even utter the n-word in public.   Now imagine the level of comfort that a cabinet member and USTR would have to have to use that word without fear of reprisal or even reprimand from his colleagues.  
Just bizarre.
