Kenya deporting US author of anti-Obama book

NAIROBI, Kenya: The American author of a best-selling book attacking Barack Obama as unfit for the presidency was being deported from Kenya on Tuesday, a criminal investigations official said.

Jerome Corsi, who wrote "The Obama Nation: Leftist Politics and the Cult of Personality," was picked up by police Tuesday for not having a work permit, said Carlos Maluta, a senior immigration official in charge of investigations.

He was briefly detained at immigration headquarters before being brought to Jomo Kenyatta International Airport for deportation, said Joseph Mumira, head of criminal investigations at Jomo Kenyatta International Airport.

A message left on Corsi's mobile phone was not immediately returned.

Corsi had been scheduled to launch his book Tuesday in Kenya, where the Democratic U.S. presidential candidate is wildly popular. Obama's late father, whom he barely knew, was a Kenyan economist and the candidate is considered by many Kenyans as a native son. Minibuses are emblazoned with his picture and vendors sell T-shirts bearing his image.

8. I don't see this as good news. Like a good grunt this is the headline on drudge

Which means this story is almost certainly going to be picked up by the M$M, which further means that Corsi will get another round of interviews on the news outlets to peddle his bullshit. When I saw this story this morning, my first thought was that THIS was the October surprise. It will have all of the most baseless and bullshit charges wrapped up in one giant turd of a story.

On edit. I noticed the story was calling him a "journalist".

:puke:

9. His book was tanking and he needed to pump up the volume.

However it's too late. Most have already made up their minds and are starting to tune out.
