Dinesh D'Souza Caught With ''D'Fiancée'' With D'Pants D'own, D'ecides To D'ivorce D'wife

[font size=3]King's Crisis[/font]
After a meteoric rise in the evangelical world, The King’s College president Dinesh D’Souza now faces his board’s likely questions about his relationship to a woman not his wife

About 2,000 people gathered on Sept. 28 at First Baptist North in Spartanburg, S.C., to hear high-profile Christians speak on defending the faith and applying a Christian worldview to their lives. Among the speakers: Eric Metaxas, Josh McDowell, and—keynote speaker for the evening—best-selling author, filmmaker, and Christian college president Dinesh D’Souza.

D’Souza’s speech earned him a standing ovation and a long line at the book-signing table immediately afterward. Although D’Souza has been married for 20 years to his wife, Dixie, in South Carolina he was with a young woman, Denise Odie Joseph II, and introduced her to at least three people as his fiancée.

Finally, near 11 p.m., event organizer Tony Beam escorted D’Souza and Joseph to the nearby Comfort Suites. Beam noted that they checked in together and were apparently sharing a room for the night in the sold-out hotel. The next morning, around 6 a.m., Beam arrived back at the hotel and called up to D’Souza’s room. “We’ll be down in 10 minutes,” D’Souza told Beam. D’Souza and Joseph came down together, and Beam took them to the airport.

The next day another conference organizer, Alex McFarland, distressed by D’Souza’s behavior, confronted him in a telephone conversation. D’Souza admitted he shared a room with his fiancée but said “nothing happened.” When I called D’Souza, he confirmed that he was indeed engaged to Joseph, but did not explain how he could be engaged to one woman while still married to another. When asked when he had filed for divorce from his wife, Dixie, D’Souza answered, “Recently.”

According to San Diego County (Calif.) Superior Court records, D’Souza filed for divorce only on Oct. 4, the day I spoke with him. Under California law, that starts the clock on a six-month waiting period for divorce. D’Souza on Oct. 4 told me his marriage was “over,” said he “is sure Denise is the one for me,” and said he had “done nothing wrong.”

when he edited the right-wing campus rag:

"Distort D'Newza".

Now, I guess it will be

"Desert D'Spouza".

Although he says nothing happened with his fiancee. And I'm inclined (hopeful) to believe it's true.

- So she's not too bright, but has good eyesight......

...''I have done nothing wrong,'' could really cost him. The fact that when asked how could this woman be his fiancee if he was still married, he lied and said he'd filed for divorce ''recently.'' But it turns out that he filed the same day after he was questioned about the relationship. Which was fast, but probably not fast enough. Because it had already been established that he spent the night in a hotel room with a woman not his wife BEFORE he filed for divorce.

- In divorce proceedings, timing can be everything......
