Arrested Felons For McCain!

I wanted to stay away from this Larry Sinclair story, because it was completely unworthy of attention. This is some yahoo who claims to have gay sexed with Barack Obama, taken drugs with him, and a load of other nonsense, and he actually appeared at a press conference at the National Press Club to divulge the "truth" today.

Funny thing happened on the way to DC. First, Sinclair's long criminal record was exposed.

Sinclair's biography, though, may get in the way of that pitch: Public records and court filings reveal that he has a 27-year criminal record, with a specialty in crimes involving deceit. The record includes forgery charges in two states, one of which drew Sinclair a 16-year jail sentence. The Pueblo County, Colorado, Sheriff's Office also has an outstanding warrant for Sinclair's arrest for forging an acquaintance's signature and stealing her tax refunds.

"It is what it is," said Sinclair's spokesman, Montgomery Blair Sibley, of his client's criminal record. "He's not hiding from it, he's not denying it."

If he's not denying it, he's going to spend election day in the slammer, because after his little presser today he got arrested.

Why didn't I wait until the end of the press conference and rush up to the accuser? The second Sinclair stopped taking questions, he fled the room and reporters were denied access to anyone but Sibley. I was a little disappointed until I heard the reason. Larry Sinclair was arrested after the press conference and is being held by the Washington, D.C. metropolitan police. He's been charged as a fugitive from justice; one of his warrants can be seen here.

There's more at this link.

These kinds of slimebags were hanging around the Clintons as well back in the 90s, but none of them were so awkward as to be publicly arrested at the very beginning of their smear campaign. Hilarious. Maybe John McCain will use Sinclair as one of his prominent Democrats who's now supporting him. These Youstabees and slimers coming out of the woodwork are delusional, and the less time spent on them the better.

...here's another idiotic smear that went nowhere, BTW.
