This Sinclair fellow reminds me of the main character, a pompous ass who stumbles along while his audience extracting great truths out of his gibberish. Kind of like Chauncey. I can't wait to see how the wing nuts talk this one up. Great entertainment if this weren't a presidential election and the stakes are so high.

Larry Sinclair is a total fraud with nothing to loose. He lives in a assisted living facility he’s got a criminal background of check fraud and drug possesion, and he allegedly has a brain tumor and won’t be alive for long.

Sounds like he was hand picked by the GOP.

Our next speaker is Larry Sinclair. Mr. Sinclair is a 47 year old drug-addict, drug-dealer, mental patient and convicted felon. He has spent 13 years in prison and is currently wanted for theft and forgery. A few months ago Mr. Sinclair uploaded a video on Youtube making various completely unsubstantiated allegations against Senator Barack Obama. Since then Mr. Sinclair has failed to produce any evidence whatsoever to support his allegations and he has also failed several polygraph-tests.
