NOTE: Help Big Head DC’s Investigative Team Grow!

The AP follows up on Big Head DC’s lead. Implications that Matt Drudge cooked a Sen. Hillary Clinton campaign for president connection to the Sen. Barack Obama Somali dress story loom large:

The gossip and news Web site The Drudge Report posted the photograph Monday and said it was being circulated by “Clinton staffers” and quoted an e-mail from an unidentified campaign aide. Drudge did not include proof of the e-mail in the report.

“I just want to make it very clear that we were not aware of it, the campaign didn’t sanction it and don’t know anything about it,” Clinton spokesman Howard Wolfson said in a teleconference with reporters. “None of us have seen the e-mail in question. If anybody has independent reporting that they’ve done on it I would welcome it.”

One has to wonder: If there truly was a mean-spirited campaign e-mail belonging to a Clinton staffer touting Obama’s costume, wouldn’t Drudge have released the evidence by now?
