WTF Is It Now?!?

"Listen Bozo, this is the White House. There are no clowns here."
The White House believes it should not be the subject of satire and is trying to censor a web site that mentioned Dick Cheney's humourless wife.

The NY Civil Liberties Union struck back Wednesday on behalf of John A. Wooden, threatening a lawsuit to protect his First Amendment rights to parody the White House and Bush officials on his site, whitehouse.org.

Cheney counsel David S. Addington warned Wooden's Chickenhead Productions Inc. that Lynne Cheney's name and pictures - altered to show her with a red clown's nose and a missing tooth - could not be used to make money without her consent, and told Wooden to delete the photos and "fictitious biographical statement about her." - from here.
