Conservative Super-PAC Made Video of Panda Banging Hillary Clinton

Lawyers are investigating Matt Kibbe, the president of the Orwellian-titled conservative super-PAC FreedomWorks, for potentially misusing the organization's resources, sexist hiring policies, and signing a controversial book-deal.
What keeps this story from being another run-of-the-mill political corruption blurb is a promotional film that the company made for a conference in Dallas under the supervision of Adam Brandon, executive vice president of the group. In one portion of the video, Brandon wakes up from a nap, wanders down the hall and sees a "panda" with its head in the lap of a seated "Hillary Clinton." Both roles were played by female interns, wearing a panda costume and Clinton mask respectively. We know that interns have to do some crappy jobs, but really, this is too far.
The video (which, incidentally, is thought to be a reference to a similar scene in The Shining) was pulled for fear of offending the religious members of the conference. Probably a good call on FreedomWorks' part. But really, if we're going to go political with The Shining, let's go all out. How about a crazy, axe-wielding Mitt Romney who flip-flops between saying he won't kill his family and he will? Paul Ryan trapped in an isolated, snowbound hotel because he defunded FEMA? Now that's something we'd watch.
