Hillary Clinton baseball card - as Morganna the Kissing Bandit???

You can't make this shit up.

(OK, actually we often do, but this time we're serious. Honest. Well, at least about the card.)

Wondering why Hillary Clinton wasn't in Upper Deck's "presidential predictors" baseball card set, in which candidates were featured in great baseball moments or as all-time greats? Well, she was - as Morganna the Kissing Bandit - until her card was pulled.

"There was some concern by some of the people that it might be offensive," said an Upper Deck spokesperson.

Especially to that unidentified Phillie on the card.

A few cards have gotten out, and at least one sold on eBay for more that $2,400.

Upper Deck has said that it'll put a new, less offensive version of Clinton in Series II. After the good judgment displayed with that first card, we can't wait to see what they'll do for an encore! Possible "great moments" being considered:

1. As Debbie Clemens, getting a shot of HGH in the ass while an unsuspecting Rocket watches "Gilligan's Island" in the next room.

2. At a barbecue, arguing with Jessica Canseco about who has the better body.

3. As wacky Marge Schott, watching games with her dog while making racial slurs and talking up Hitler.

    I think you can get the real thing for less than $2400.
