What's gonna happen to...Jerome Corsi?

Bloated liar with poor skin looking for work.

In a new series, 23/6 takes a look at all the McCain allies, GOP bagmen, and far-right smear-meisters who are kind of f**ked in the wake of the Obama win, and we ask, "What's gonna happen to that guy?"

Doughy-faced rosacea sufferer Jerome Corsi was a pretty big deal in 2004. The co-author of the Swift-boating "Unfit For Command" deserves a lot of credit for helping George Bush get elected to a second term. "Unfit" was bought by the truckload and Corsi rocketed to fame as one of the far-right's top pathological liars.

In 2008, Corsi tried to see if lightning could strike twice with "Obama Nation: Leftist Politics and the Cult Of Personality." While the book still sold big, the lies inside it just never quite caught on. Perhaps that's why his former co-author, John O'Neill, decided to sit this one out. "This just isn't the kind of horseshit I can get behind" he must have thought. And the left was more prepared this time around with statements like "No, Obama never stopped in the middle of the Senate floor to do a bump." Though he always looks like he's presently in the middle of a severe heart attack, one Larry King appearance saw Corsi particularly flustered.

Not ready to give up, Corsi flew to Kenya to pull a stunt where he tried to give some cash to Obama's impoverished half-brother. In a wonderful turn of events, he was deported by Kenyan authorities before he got the chance.

By the time the election was called, no one really cared what this yam-faced liar had to say anymore. So what's gonna happen to that guy?

Our prediction: Corsi will keep popping up every four years with another book of lies, each one selling worse than the last, until 2032 when his final volume, "Whitewater Child: What Chelsea Clinton Knew" fails to even crack the NY Times Bestseller list.

The guy's gotta make a living, I guess. If he's smart, he'll start writing some truth for a change, if he really knows any, about the soon to be former administration. Well, maybe that's not such a good idea. He lies so much no one would believe any truths he actually wrote. He looks like he's approaching Social Security age, if not past it. Hopefully he'll fade into the woodwork.....

Crates of Corsi's book are sitting in some republican think tank's cellar.

He'll go on to write progressively vitriolic books in multiple genres. His crowning achievement will be the children's book "Nobody Poops but You, Loser"

You should have seen the really lame children's book he wrote when I was a kid. He definitely still has continued to write fiction that's for sure. I don't even remember if it was published.

It's too bad they didn't keep him in Kenya!! This man is so full of bullshit it's ridiculous, bullshit and booze! Sad to say he used to be married to my aunt...I can't believe ANYONE buys what he's selling! I wish he'd just go back under the rock he crawled out from under.

I doubt thave will ever happen. He's too much of a Narccisist to believe he would need to see a shrink.
