Ben Smith over at Politico.com has an interesting tidbit. Seems Larry Sinclair, already having used his 15 minutes of fame, wants more. For those of you who don’t know, Sinclair is the man who started the wild internet rumors about having sex and drugs with Barack Obama. Those accusations turned out to be outright lies with no substance at all, yet now he is trying again.
He has reserved the Holeman Lounge at downtown Washington's National Press Club to try to spread his story to the mainstream media. The problem is that Sinclair has a 27 year rap sheet with criminal records including convictions for forgery and a 16 year prison sentence. There is also an outstanding warrant for his arrest in Pueblo County, Colorado. I have to wonder if he won’t find a sheriff waiting for him at the alleged press conference?
Sinclair has already failed a polygraph test which he took after an offer from a website of $100,000 if he passed it. Now he is trying one last time for fame and fortune. I suspect the Fox News folks will be on hand and a variety of far right bloggers and once again he will be a blip on the radar screen.
Why a news outlet would let a man with 16 aliases in his arrest record have a single moment of air time is a mystery to me. Any news group who covers this fiasco deserves any derision they get. The sad thing is it will once again stir the hate jabbers on the internet and the rumor will make the rounds once again. Where are the wackos claiming they had sex with McCain? Oh yea, they are probably already in nursing homes! Sorry I had to do it, just too easy a joke.
