This effigy of Palin is totally offensive.....I can't believe the jackasses who put it up won't take it down. And now Obama has been hung in effigy at the University of Kentucky.



"ChadMichael Morrisette, a professional window display designer, said he set up the life-size mannequin of Palin in front of his house three weeks ago. He said he wanted to insert politics into his Halloween decorating since the holiday comes four days before the presidential election.

But then a news report on the display this week sparked a national uproar, drawing the attention of the Secret Service, upsetting politicians, including one local official who called for a hate crime investigation, and prompting MSNBC television host Keith Olbermann on Monday to dub Morrisette "today's worst person in the world."

"This is not the spirit of Halloween, sir," Olbermann said. "It is the spirit of violence."
