Barack Obama’s unstable anti-Israel foreign policy adviser Samantha Power has resigned from the Obama campaign, after calling Hillary Clinton “a monster.”

I suspect the resignation was “suggested.”

WASHINGTON—Samantha Power resigned as a foreign policy advisor to Sen. Barack Obama (D-Ill.) after she called Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton (D-N.Y.) a “monster” in an interview with The Scotsman newspaper.

Power was in London for a book tour and to headline fundraisers for Obama. Power was an ardent and passionate supporter of Obama who took almost a year off from her job as a professor at Harvard University to work in Obama’s Senate office. She has been deeply involved in policy, youth outreach—she is a popular campus speaker—and fund-raising for Obama. She was due in Chicago on March 16 to headline a fund-raising event for Obama.

Mr Zappa, I am astounded at the courtesy and soft voiced nature of the comments of my friend, the Senator from Tennessee. I can only say that I find your statement to be boorish, incredibly and insensitively insulting to the people who were here previously, that you could manage to give the First Amendment of the Constitution of the United States a bad name, if I felt you had the slightest understanding of it, which I do not. -- - Senator Slade Gorton
