“A footnote to the story of Larry Sinclair, the gadfly whose long criminal record I wrote about this morning: He was arrested by Washington, D.C. police after his press conference there today, two officials at D.C.’s First District station confirmed to Politico.”

I just have to dothis: LMFAO

:-)

I’d like to “rent a room” too, and talk about the drug-crazed sex orgies I had with John McCain where we bathed naked in the blood of newborn babies.

What sort of rate could I get, sir?

I anxiously await your reply.

Thanks for your note. Journalism occurs when journalists decide to cover an event or not. After they decide to cover it they then decide to write about it or not – this is also an act of journalisml. Most people think journalism begins when reporters start to write about an event. But few people believe that the act of allowing a news conference to take place is an act of journalism. We don’t believe it is. Journalism happens after that. Our invitation to a speaker may be an act of journalism…but in this case Mr. Sinclair is simply renting a room. Our allowing that is not a journalistic act.

Best,

Because it’s extremely difficult for a public figure to successfully sue for libel or slander. Obama would not only have to prove that the allegations are untrue, and that Sinclair acted with malice in making accusations that he knew to be untrue, but that the allegations directly harmed either his fundraising efforts or ability to conduct his campaign.

All Sinclair has to do in defense is say that he believed the lies to be true and felt he was acting in the public interest in telling them. Unless he left a paper trail in which he admits to maliciously lying, he’ll probably win.

I found this interesting post on Free Republic:

“Despite the warrant for Sinclair’s arrest, he appears likely to stay out of jail, as long as he stays out of Colorado. Pueblo County Undersheriff J.R. Hall said that the warrant doesn’t allow for extradition from out of state….

“Sinclair’s notoriety, and his scheduled press conference, however, has drawn the interest of the Colorado authorities. ‘We’ve notified the Federal Bureau of Investigation, and they will investigate,’ Hall said.”

(And if he gets diverted for extraordinary rendition……

I suspect that’s because in a slander suit, the plaintiff must demonstrate that his/her reputation was harmed by the defendant’s lies. Chances are pretty good that this jerk won’t affect Obama’s poll numbers, as the only people who will give him any credence are people who oppose Obama anyway.

However, if anything Sinclair says goes viral and starts dominating the media like the YouTubes of Reverend Wright did, Obama would probably have a case.

I watched the video on YouTube a while ago and as a long time Chicago resident can tell you how hysterical it is. The guy says worked out of Gurnee which is a long way from Chicago. From the Rush Street areas withouth any heavy traffic it’s probably about 90 minutes each way. And he said he took Obama back to his motel room from Rush Street for the encounter. Sure, because there’s hardly anyplace to go between those two points. Plenty of man on man sex is carried on at Bughouse Square (Washington Park) half a block from there and nobody would notice.
In addition, Gurnee is where Bass Pro Shops had one of the first big national stores before they expanded the chain. And when I saw him I thought he looked like a fisherman who had been to Bass Pro and “backed in” to the rest of the story from there.

Larry Sinclair = rogerse?

sorry ralph i’ve got rogerse pegged as jeff gannon. his love of plagiarism (and endless copying and pasting), atrocious spelling and just plain bad syntax makes it a metaphysical certainty. larry sinclair, on the other hand, is an original liar and rogerse has never posted an original thought in his life.
