Running for the highest office in the land is fraught with problems. You might be exposed as a drunken ninny who ducked out of Vietnam, steered several companies into the ground and never learned how to speak English real good-like (you would then stand a fine chance of winning).
Or someone might create a problem for you. An ugly problem. Such is the case with Sen. Barack Obama, who last week threatened legal action against a sick fellow who posted pictures of Obama's two young daughters on a Panamanian pedophilia website.
On the site, Lindsay Ashford, who is notorious enough to warrant his own wikipedia page, handicaps the presidential race based on the attractiveness of candidates' underage daughters or granddaughters. The New York Daily News has more here.
Smoking Gun broke the story and has a copy of the letter from Obama's lawyer.
