HA!
In a stunning development one day after the release of Where’s the Birth Certificate? The Case that Barack Obama is not Eligible to be President, by Dr. Jerome Corsi, World Net Daily Editor and Chief Executive Officer Joseph Farah has announced plans to recall and pulp the entire 200,000 first printing run of the book, as well as announcing an offer to refund the purchase price to anyone who has already bought either a hard copy or electronic download of the book.
Who could have known that no one wants to be associated with a book full of dubious research?

“pulp”
tee hee….
“but in light of recent events, this book has become problematic, and contains what I now believe to be factual inaccuracies,” he said this morning. “I cannot in good conscience publish it and expect anyone to believe it.”
So now he realizes that he was publishing lies? He should have thought about that beforehand.
Whatever institute of higher learning bestowed a doctorate on this guy should consider revoking it. Different theories are one thing. Publishing an entire book based on horribly inaccurate research that was disproven with a one-page document just shows how flimsy the entire “research” really was.
He changed his mind as new facts became available. Few people as partisan as he is would be so inclined.
Now that’s what I call pulp fiction.
At least he can admit it whereas some still cannot.
Um…

“UPDATE, 12:25 p.m., for those who didn’t figure it out yet, and the many on Twitter for whom it took a while: We committed satire this morning to point out the problems with selling and marketing a book that has had its core premise and reason to exist gutted by the news cycle, several weeks in advance of publication. Are its author and publisher chastened? Well, no. They double down, and accuse the President of the United States of perpetrating a fraud on the world by having released a forged birth certificate. Not because this claim is in any way based on reality, but to hold their terribly gullible audience captive to their lies, and to sell books. This is despicable, and deserves only ridicule. That’s why we committed satire in the matter of the Corsi book. Hell, even the president has a sense of humor about it all.”
The proof of the punking is in its content. Corsi didn’t write a book about the moon landing hoax.
Hearing it’s satire makes it funnier. Of course Corsi doesn’t care about truth.
Your smugness looks all the sillier now.
