Come on, Herb. You can answer that one yourself. This was a little bit of paint. There was no physical destruction, no permanent defacement.

P.S. I agree with Gene's earlier post in which he said Lincoln would comment that this is much ado about nothing. One thing I love about Lincoln is his rejection of formalities. In his day, to the horror of many of his "gentlemanly" contemporaries, he was laid back, informal, relaxed, even crude at times; he kept his mind on the important things in life and the important political issues. He didn't waste his time on trivialities.
