Swift Boat Author Smears Self
Shocking Revelations Unveiled in Corsi's New Autobiography
Right-wing attack-dog journalist Jerome Corsi, whose controversial book, Unfit for Command: Swift Boat Veterans Speak Out Against John Kerry, helped sink Sen. John Kerry's presidential hopes in 2004 and whose similarly incendiary attack on Sen. Barack Obama, The Obama Nation, is now on sale, reveals in his new unauthorized autobiography that he liked pulling wings off flies as a boy, stole his grandmother's dentures on her deathbed and almost never changes his underwear
Corsi portrays himself as a secretive, dishonest, calculating physical coward who pretended to be the Count of Monte Cristo to avoid military service and once robbed a nun.
In the book's most sensational admission, the author claims that he has uncovered documents showing that he may have sold a used car to Osama bin Laden in 1986 -- a lemon, he admits, that might well have been what turned bin Laden so viciously anti-capitalist and anti-Western.
In another astonishing revelation, Corsi tells how he sold his baby sister to the gypsies to get money to finance a plot to sabotage his hometown 4-H Club. "I'm not proud of that," he says. "I way undercharged."
"My slime-ball, truth-twisting antics," Corsi writes in his epilogue, "disqualify me even as a shameless hack writer peddling dollar-a-page drivel. But the thing about me is, I'm an oily creep and I don't give a -----."
His next written effort, Corsi notes, involves hatchet jobs on all six of the most prominent Democratic vice presidential candidates, "just to be ready."

Obama made a powerful soul stirring proclamation tonight at the civil forum at Saddleback. He said that Americans will get the president that they deserve, he stated that he trust the American people. With all of these hatchet jobs on Obama at every turn, why is there nothing remotely going on with McCain? Nobody is questioning his character, judgement, faith or experience? What door God opens, no man can shut, what door God closes, no man can open. Obama will be president if that is the will of God for his life. We let Gore get railroaded, we let Kerry get railroaded. What are we saying now? We (not me) voted for Bush twice and now he is considered worst president in American history. McCain will be worst than Bush, any males between the ages of 18-34 better be prepared to go over all the globe fighting in McCain wars.
Buy Obama's Dreams from My Father in hardcover for everyone you know, now, and push the liar Corsi's book off No. 1 in hardcover bestsellers. The neocons are buying Corsi's book by the palette - in mass bulk - so let's not let that Corsi book be a reflection of what Americans like to read. Get yourself the iTunes audio book if you haven't yet - it won an Emmy for Obama's great and very personal reading!
Funny how I can imagine all of that to be true. He's a cog in the rupert machine of fux news, talk radio and the general money/power mongering neoconmen. They want your money and your impoverished child to fight for their money. They are what we allow, we ignorant rubes.
It's simple. Ignore him. He's obviously so insecure he'll do anything for attention. Don't give him any.
I can't begin to imagine how anybody could waste his money on, in Corsi's own words, a "slime-ball" in these economically trying times. Unbelievable.
This is a very shrewd man, he's laughing all the way to the bank!
I can almost here him say, thanks for your dollars suckers!
Yeah, he's thanking republicans who are buying it in bulk, not regular readers.
This man is a sicko and anyone whose believes what he writes is just a sick or sicker than he for buying the garbage. Just shows to go ya how sick this world is. The Repugs can not win on the issues, they win on smears and fears. I only hope the American people are wiser this time around, Maybe they won't be but if so God helps us
Because Corsi gets so much air time I assume he is paid agent of major media.
More truthful than his previous books! I still won't buy it.
Funny!
