Turban Trouble for Barack

Hot on the heels of John McCain’s alleged sex scandal, presidential candidate Barack Obama is at the center of another political firestorm after being photographed wearing a turban. It’s just the latest salvo in the year of smear, and now fingers are pointing to Hillary Clinton for the alleged leak of the salacious pic. Clinton’s camp denies it leaked the photo. Now many are wondering if Obama’s main supporter – Oprah Winfrey – will weigh in on the new controversy over the candidate she helped vault to stardom. “Extra” contacted Oprah today and her reps told us she’s unavailable for comment. This season of scandal isn’t stopping Hollywood from taking sides. George Clooney said he’s just one of many A-listers backing Barack. “I like Hillary, and I know her very well and I like her very much. I’ve just never been around anything like Obama.” [link]
