Drudge Pushes Conspiracy That President Obama Was Secret CIA Agent In Pakistan

[PoliticalTiger]

The Drudge Report, Mitt Romney’s preferred news outlet, continued its habit of linking back to preeminent birther website World Net Daily, this time to lend credence to the theory that President Obama took a leave of absence during his time at Columbia Law School so he could serve as a special agent for the CIA in Pakistan.

The WND article, written by washed up fiction author Jerome Corsi, alleges that there is a discrepancy in Columbia University’s records which “casts doubt” on Obama’s well-documented two year tenure at the New York school. He then inexplicably suggests that the reason for the “missing year” is that Obama spent it in Pakistan as an agent for the Central Intelligence Agency:

Quote:Swirling amid the black hole of information are a host of theories about Obama’s whereabouts – particularly during the 1981-1982 school year – including speculation he was working for the CIA in Pakistan.

The story more closely resembles a Saturday Night Live parody of birther conspiracy theorists than an actual news report, yet Matt Drudge, former darling of assignment editors in newsrooms across the country, found it worthy of a link on his highly-trafficked home page.

They floated this in 2008 too. What's interesting to me is that I still haven't seen an apology from any lefties for buying Corsi's swift boat garbage back in 2004.

That would make us the party of beneficence, empathy, and sanity

At least that's one of their more original stories. The soshulist secrit muslin terrorist is kinda worn out.

oh I'm sure Obama was simply busy forging a birth certificate and planting fake birth announcements in Hawaiian newspapers in anticipation of running for and winning the presidency in 2008.
