Not Before Coffee

Does anyone really give a rats red behind that the little girl in a recent Hillary Clinton ad is now an 18-year-old Obama supporter?

Personally I think if she and her family didn’t want her image being used in a way she would not support, they should have never sold it as stock imagery to Getty in the first place.

Casey Knowles didn’t much like a recent campaign commercial for Hillary Clinton – even though she’s in it as a sleeping 8-year-old.

After all, she about to turn 18 now and is a big supporter of Barack Obama.

Knowles said she didn’t see the ad until Jon Stewart lampooned it Thursday on "The Daily Show." Her brother noticed it was her, and the family replayed the commercial on their digital recorder to be sure.

"They were parodying this ad, kind of poking fun at it," Knowles said. "My brother was like, Is that Casey?’ And we just erupted. Sure enough, it’s me."

The file footage was originally shot for a railroad company advertisement. The Clinton campaign bought it from Getty Images.

Now it seems the Obama campaign has contacted Knowles and she very well could be appearing in an upcoming ad for the other team.

Lastly, because of the ruckus this has caused, I think Knowles should have to reimburse the Clinton campaign for money they invested in an image that has caused such a fuss.

When you sell out yourself as a model in any way, you don’t always get to choose where your image is being used.  Deal with it!  And put a cork in it.
