In a recent written statement of support, Hollywood icon Elizabeth Taylor said that Hillary Clinton was “not a flibbertijibbet” (or flibbertigibbet, if spelling is important to you), which is a word that was more commonly used in the late Middle Ages.

Some will say that Taylor and John McCain grew up in that era, but they’re not that old.

For those still wondering, modern dictionaries define the word as “a frivolous, flighty, or excessively talkative person.”

A video attempting to bring down the Hillary Clinton campaign was exposed as a fabrication today. The video, which spread rapidly across the Internet due to promotion from political blogs and over 4,000 users voting for it on Digg.com, claimed that long-time Clinton family friend and adviser Mickey Kantor used derogatory language to describe residents of Indiana in 1992.

The Clinton campaign told CNN the clip was “doctored” and an upset Kantor asked The Huffington Post to stop running the story because it helps to extend the libel. The video has since been removed and hidden on YouTube.

We’ll let you guess which candidate’s supporters were behind this blatant attempt to influence voters in hotly-contested Indiana.

Several Digg.com users utilize the “shout” sytem, where a user can send a link to a fellow member’s profile, but several users of the popular Internet news aggregator have increasingly abused the system to send John McCain nasty messages.

Browsing McCain’s profile, links point to stories about adult dating Web sites, an article about the city of Sacramento, Calif. keeping pornography in its libraries and perhaps the strangest shout of all is one about vaginal yeast infections that has been displayed in the Senator’s profile for over three days.

Barack Obama only displays shouts from friends, and Hillary Clinton keeps hers private.

Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama proudly display their ages on their Digg.com candidate profile pages, but John McCain’s profile on the popular Internet news aggregator seems to be missing something.

McCain will be 72 years old in August.

“We’re going to round the bases,” exclaimed Hillary Clinton to a crowd at a minor league baseball game today in Indiana. “We’re going to score a lot of runs and we’re going to feel really good about the home team, namely the American team, the team we’re all a part of!”

For once she wasn’t taking a swing at Barack Obama.

What do you think, loyal Big Head DC readers? Do Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton inspire you or is this heated contest showing that one, or maybe both, lack souls?

Campaign strategists are telling Big Head DC that Elizabeth Edwards may campaign on Hillary Clinton’s behalf in the upcoming North Carolina primary race. Whether John Edwards will endorse Clinton remains to be seen.

While the rest of us are still focused on 2008, Rudy Giuliani is already taking contributions for the 2012 election year at JoinRudy2012.com. Is it a sign Giuliani is worried about John McCain’s chances against Hillary Clinton or Barack Obama?

For you cybersquatters out there, JoinRudy2016.com is still available but you better act quick. Word is that Rudy may soon throw his hat in the ring for that one, too.
