I know politicians constantly exploit photo ops for their own purposes, but a friend told me about this awkward moment at Clinton's El Paso rally Tuesday night, and I had to share it. I feel bad for the little boy. See how they quickly escort him out of there!

I'm not saying other candidates don't do it. I'm just saying this looks damn ridiculous. She should have upped the ante, have the lil youngin wack an Obama pinata while he's up there.
