Obama’s Chief Speechwriter is 27
Jon Favreau — no relation to the Swingers actor/writer — who is Obama’s Chief Speechwiter, is only 27 years old. Great article in today’s Washington Post.

Favreau, Obama’s 27-year-old chief speechwriter, is the guy who stood next to a life-size cutout of Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton and groped the figure in a sexually explicit manner while being photographed. This is the kind of behavior you’d expect from a drunken frat boy. But Mr. Favreau is not a boy. He’s a grown man charged with the responsibility of expressing the highest ideals and beliefs of our next president. Here’s the picture: http://latimesblogs.latimes.com/washington/2008/12/obama-favreau.html
If Favreau was working in any corporation, and posted pictures of himself gleefully groping the image of a female colleague, he would lose his job. It’s sexual harassment.
Favreau’s behavior devalues and disrespects our incoming Secretary of State. His jubilant portrayal of sexual assault should immediately result in his removal from his position in the new administration. He should be fired. How would you feel if this was your mother, sister, Michelle Obama, Obama’s daughters or others? It’s just plain wrong.
Favreau should be fired now.
