If you haven’t heard of Larry Sinclair, it’s because only the wingnuttiest of conservatives (think people who make Michelle Malkin look reasoned and intelligent) are using him as ammo against Obama. He’s put a video on YouTube where he claims to have done cocaine (Obama smoked crack, because that’s what black people do!) and blown him in a limo in the late ’90s. Oh, and apparently Obama gave the total stranger he cruised for gay sex and drugs his real name and position, because he’s just that stupid.
Sinclair has a decades-long criminal record of fraud and petty crime, and has oustanding warrants in Colorado. So does he lay low and continue to sling mud from the relative anonymity of the internet? No, he calls a press conference in Washington DC, which results in 2 US Marshalls showing up and hauling him off. Genius!
Oh, and did we mention his lawyer?
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.
Welcome to WTFville. I imagine we’ll be taking quite a few more trips there between now and November.
Hat tips to Pandagon and Reason.
