Here is the full quote, let me know again how you connected the birther book to which this quote applies to the Bush book. " 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. Some more serious reporting from us on this whole "birther" phenomenon here, here, and here." " As far as your apparent reference to ESQUIRES political leanings, I don't read it and don't recall ever reading it, so aI have no opinion. As far as liberals in the sense Republicans define it vs Republicans I agree with the following: P. J. O'Rourke: " The Democrats are the party that says government will make you smarter, taller, richer, and remove the crabgrass on your lawn. The Republicans are the party that says government doesn't work and then they get elected and prove it. " http://www.brainyquote.com/quotes/quotes/p/pjorour107305.html#ixzz1MpPMdMKl
