untidy.

The thing is, if he is detained without cause, and even Heaven forbid tortured, there's really not a lot the U.S. government or the right wing can say about it - you know what with that whole Gitmo place they are so proud of.

somebody please make a cartoon of the interrogation, quick quick!

Its not often I wish someone a bad prison experience. Guess he shouldnt have thrown shit about internal politics in Kenya, *from* Kenya, as he has been doing at his blog, claiming that Odinga is a crazy muslim that supports Obama and the burning of churches. Ooops, reality just bit back. Sad thing is hell claim it was Obamas doing, not his own meddling. Hope he is in a drunktank.

I can't wait to find out how Faux News and Hannity manage to spin this as Obama's fault.

Our long national nightmare is over. :)

The man went to defame and antagonize Kenyans in Kenya.

Too bad, so sad. Have fun in an African jail, shithead. I promise it won't be as comfortable as the Fox News green room.

nothing could be a more amusing epilogue to the sinking of the good ship smear and this whole right wing nutjob nightmare we've been living than this story -- i demand visuals! if this were a comedy film, we'd have a shot of this hoser during the closing credits as the bars slam and 50 hardened criminals close in on him in the darkened cell... of course, i wouldn't actually wish that on anyone, but still.

alas, real life intervenes, and the race isn't over, and so on and so on.

Ahh, too bad, we have to take him back I suppose.

He's at Jomo Kenyatta waiting for a plane already, so they couldn't have done much to him.

Corsi is one creepy man. His stalking and desperately searching for information in order to smear Obama has become an obsession of near madness. Then again, insulting the Kenyan people while actually in Kenya is very much a crazy thing to do in the first place. The rest of the world doesn't treat people like the United States does. I have a feeling, he's learning that the hard way.

The left doesn't want a free press. The left wants a left-wing press.

It is very, very rare that one of my comments goes in this direction, but sometimes it is the only appropriate response:

Fuck you, you disgraceful hypocrites. Please don't ever whine about press freedom again. Go ahead and make your partisan case for whatever it is that you want. Just don't presume to lecture us on press freedoms.

And, just because I don't want this to be mistaken as a once-off intemperate moment, I want to say again, to all of the Salonistas chuckling over this: Fuck you, you worthless pieces of shit.

There's little doubt in my mind that Kenya will be the great loser when the dust settles. Welcome to the club, Kenya. Meet Zimbabwe, and over here we have Nigeria, and this is Ethiopia. And we musn't forget Sudan.

I might actually vote for Obama if he'd promise to clean up all of those shitholes. The problem is that he seems to like all of leaders who led those countries into disaster. He certainly never made a career out of criticizing them.

...and therefore should not be treated as one.

Those who peddle venomous innuendo and unsubstantiated rumors cannot lay claim to the protections afforded journalists.

Here's an unsubstantiated rumor: Corsi is smuggling heroin inside his body. As a "journalist," he would understand should the Kenyan authorities decide to do some "fact-checking."

Last time I checked Corsi is not a member of the press but a writer. He is not a journalist or a reporter. What a bunch of crybaby whiners you guys are. These kind of strongarm tactics are the very HALLMARK of the Bush Administration.

And seriously, fuck me? FUCK YOU. You on the right have done nothing but flip us off for eight long years. So when the day finally comes and you get what you so richly deserve, do you take it like a man? No. You whine and cry and curse and spit and pretend for the millionth time that it's just this one thing that has offended your morality so much that once again, you have to support the rightwing party line. Please. You are 10 lbs of shit in a 5 lb bag.

It's time to stop with the fuck you's. That is all you have brought to the table for the last decade and it has turned this country into a hellhole of fiscal ruin, moral vacancy and unprofessional incompetence. It's time you started acting like adults and deal with the fact that you are going to be out of power for a very long time while the left cleans up the pile of shit that you untrained little doggies have left on the rug for the rest of us. You are a colossal failure. A national disgrace and international embarrassment.

It's time to shut the fuck up.

Maybe that check for $1000(?) came in handy, after all.

if this country weren't committed to freedom of press to a fault. Thanks to the landmark N.Y. Times vs. Sullivan case, it is virtually impossible for a public figure to sue for libel even when he has clearly and maliciously been libeled, which is what keeps the likes of Corsi in business.

However, we don't run the Kenyan government, nor do their laws happen to match ours. Maybe you think that Americans can go in and dictate political reforms in every country that we don't like at gunpoint, but Corsi has just found out that those tactics won't save him from the consequences of his own reckless, provocative and profoundly stupid actions. Let the party of personal responsibility find a way to spin this -- the man got what he richly deserved.

I'm all for freedom of the press, and yes I do think he was unfairly arrested on trumped up charges. And yes I do think the American Embassy should provide to him the same services it would to any other U.S. citizen in a similar situation.

But still, my lips can't help but curl into a big grin at the thought of this pasty white guy dropping the soap in some gloryhole Kenyan prison shower.
