Larry Johnson’s “New And Dramatic Developments”…Not So Much

Yesterday he claimed he would post something important today about the supposed Michelle Obama “whitey” tape. What did he have? Aside from more rumors and innuendo, nothing (the link has been up and down all morning).

I learned over the weekend why the Republicans who have seen the tape of Michelle Obama ranting about “whitey” describe it as “STUNNING.” I have not seen it but I have heard from five separate sources who have spoken directly with people who have seen the tape. It features Michelle Obama and Louis Farrakhan. They are sitting on a panel at Jeremiah Wright’s Church when Michelle makes her intemperate remarks.

He heard from people who talked to people who have seen the tape? Well that’s just rock fucking solid. My Six Degrees of Kevin Bacon number is lower than that.

Meanwhile, Paterico links to a lefty blogger who claims Michelle doesn’t say ‘whitey’ but rather ‘why’d he’ as in ‘why’d he cut Medicare’. The ‘he’ in this case being President Bush.

Given this and his story about Rove’s indictment I can only hope Johnson was better at influencing foreign elections at the CIA than he is showing here.

Still, the fact that left is tearing itself apart with stuff like this is fun. Not as much fun as the actual tape would be but given the state of play in '08, it's about as much fun as we can expect to have. Enjoy it while you can.

UPDATE: Not that this 'story' is really worth it but I found this new post from one of Johnson's 'cobloggers' or whatever they call themselves over there, highly amusing.

FYI, for those expecting to SEE the tape, GET REAL. Read Larry Johnson’s description of what is ON the tape. That is the story.

Oh, I see, it's not the actual tape but what Johnson says he heard from someone who spoke to someone who saw it that's important.

What flavor Kool-Aid do you have to drink to "think" that way?

Dear God, I hope that woman never winds up on a jury with all that messy 'evidence' and 'proof' to consider.
