Facebook is truly as dangerous as we think. And it seems that no one is safe.

Jon Favreau, the 27-year-old Holy Cross alum hired to be Obama's director of Speech Writing, just got caught groping a Hillary Clinton cut out at a party, the Washington Post reports. 

An administration that calls itself "No Drama Obama," has found a little bump on its smooth transition into a difficult world. Favreau fell victim to the openness of Facebook albums:

That's when some interesting photos of a recent party he attended -- including one where he's dancing with a life-sized cardboard cut-out of secretary of state-designate Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton, and another where he's placed his hand on the cardboard former first lady's chest while a friend is offering her lips a beer -- popped up on Facebook for about two hours. The photos were quickly taken down -- along with every other photo Favreau had of himself on the popular social networking site, save for one profile headshot.

 

Poor Favreau-- we all know that partying can make us do silly things. I know that I, as a student, am torn: I don't know whether to call poor taste or bad decision for the picture getting out, or feeling that the Obama administration is maybe just a little more understanding of the college student.

Fortunately, it seems like the speech writer won't have to deal with too much drama:

Favreau's case seems unlikely to be so dire; Clinton senior adviser Philippe Reines cast the photos as evidence of increased bonhomie between the formerly rival camps.

 

"Senator Clinton is pleased to learn of Jon's obvious interest in the State Department, and is currently reviewing his application," he said in an e-mail.

 

I love a good sense of humor.
