New for politicians: The Idiot's Guide to Idiots

Last week, while giving a speech on behalf of his wife's presidential campaign, Bill Clinton was repeatedly interrupted by an Obama-supporting heckler. Following his speech, Clinton was seen irately pointing at the gentlemen, who even claims Clinton hit him in the face.

This was not the first time a politician has been heckled during a speech, and with the races heating up, it likely won't be the last. As with anything a politician does, the response to hecklers must be carefully measured—one false move could be a PR disaster. To help avoid such a mess, the presidential candidates (and their spouses) would be wise to study this pamphlet, distributed by the Campaign Election Board, and unearthed by 23/6.
