Adding fuel to the suspicion that Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton is not completely supportive of the candidacy of her one-time rival Sen. Barack Obama, an Obama spokesman today told a hastily assembled Denver news conference that Senator Clinton was planning to blink the letters spelling out "Support McCain" in Morse Code during her Convention address Wednesday night.
"She'll be telling people to support us," Obama spokesman Ron Wellmer told reporters, "but her eyes will tell another story."
The Clinton camp promptly denied the rumor, but was forced to admit that it had been training Clinton supporters among delegates and superdelegates to learn Morse Code in order to receive a "special message" during her speech.
"During the Vietnam War," Wellmer said, "an American POW named Jeremiah Denton blinked the word 'Torture' while being forced to speak by his captors on a televised message. Mr. Denton went on to serve in the U.S. Senate. We think that she got the idea from him."
A spokesman for the Clinton campaign, continuing to deny the Obama camp's claim, telling the Dissociated Press, "Dash dot, dot dot dash dot, dot dash dash," which turned out to be the acronym "NFW."
