Previous entry: TN: brutal trans-bashing by Memphis police officer caught on tape
It’s just too over-the-top to ignore. This loser, Larry Sinclair, has been peddling a ridiculous story about having blown Obama in a party-hard limo in Illinois; he held a three-ring circus news conference at the National Press Club today.
Sinclair, who has a 27-year criminal record of petty crimes and fraud arrests, should win an award for the dumbest mo’fo’ ever— he has an outstanding warrant in Colorado on theft and forgery charges, so today’s high-profile appearance in DC resulted in two U.S. marshals cuffing him and hauling him away right on the spot.
He and his attorney managed to hold the press conference before the cuffs were clicked on. And it was a circus. Dave Weigel of Reason:
How did Sinclair hold up? Rather terribly. He started with a lengthy statement that admitted most (not all) of his crimes and dispatched Sibley to run around the room with a microphone. As Seth Colter Walls recounts, most of the questions were legalistic and (somewhat) credulous. Sinclair was asked who funded the event (donors, over the internet), how he made his living (he’s on disability), and whether Obama was “well hung” (I’m not going to dignify his answer here). The only new “evidence” he presented was the name of a limo driver and the bar where he claimed to have met Obama (who, in Sinclair’s story, used his real name and job title as he rendevouzed with a cruising criminal he’d never met before).
Even his attorney was off the hook.
It got worse when Sinclair’s lawyer Montgomery Sibley—whose license is currently suspended in D.C. and Florida—showed up in a kilt and told reporters that his above-average endowment made slacks tight and uncomfortable.

What? No Freeper reactions about The Man keeping down someone trying to bring forth the truth about Obama?
Annnnd, once again, free speech pays for itself. (Not that it needs to, but . . . wow, that’s spectacularly brain-dead.)
I seem to remember that it took at least a couple of years of Clinton presidency for the true freak parade to start. I guess we have that shorter news cycle to deal with.
I’m going to use that endowment thing as an excuse to wear really baggy shorts to teach my next class. And maybe to my next job interview as well.

Here you go. Just make sure you wash up after.
The only thing that could possibly top this, is Jeff Gannon blogging about it.
What was that saying? Better to remain silent and be thought to be a raving psychotic than to open your mouth and remove all doubt?

Once again feminists laugh at male problems.

I heard that.
Nothing witty here, just wanted to say that PIATOR and Ms. Kate made me laugh. :D

Didn’t you know? “Gannon” is reportedly on the National Press Club committee that invites speakers.
I found this little tidbit in Politico to be fascinating:
Sibley is best known as the lawyer for the “D.C. Madam,” the late Deborah Jeane Palfrey. Earlier this year, the Florida Bar Association suspended Sibley’s license to practice law, in part for being a “vexatious litigant,” a suspension that applies in Washington, D.C., as well.
Losing a case so badly that your client ended up committing suicide rather than go to jail is not really an endorsement of your legal abilities.
