Jerome Corsi, the author of a best-selling, controversial book blasting White House hopeful Barack Obama was detained by security officials in Kenya. I wonder what exactly was Corsi doing in Kenya? The police said that he is currently being held at the immigration office" in Nairobi. Apparently, Corsi was to unveil "The Obama Nation" to the Kenyan public at a Nairobi hotel. Which Kenyan really wants to see a book bashing one of their own? No, this man had an ulterior motive, but he seems to have forgotten that he was not in the United States and what goes here, isn't necessarily the norm in another country.

According to media reports, in a press release distributed earlier this week, Corsi announced he would "expose deep secret ties between between US Democratic presidential candidate Sen. Barack Obama and a section of the Kenyan government leaders."He was also to detail Kenyan leaders' "connections to certain sectoral groups in Kenya and a subsequent plot to be executed in Kenya should Sen. Obama win the American presidency," the release said. Right, and you go to Kenya to do so? What an idiot.

The police official denied Corsi's detention was linked to the contents of his book. "Just like anybody else, we are concerned with his immigration papers. We have nothing to do with the book or whoever it's about. It's about the law of Kenya," he said.

Corsi made his name by co-authoring "Unfit for Command," which maligned 2004 Democratic presidential nominee John Kerry's Vietnam War record and is believed to have contributed to his defeat by President George W. Bush. But this time he won't be so lucky to "Swift Boat" another Democratic Party nominee. In case he hasn't noticed, the economy is in the tank and if the truth be told, Barack Obama is the lesser of two evils. John McCain can't keep his "straight talk express" running coherently.

Corsi's book on Obama, subtitled "Leftist Politics and the Cult of Personality," was released on August 1. The book's publisher, Threshold Editions, said it examined "why the extreme leftism of an Obama presidency would leave the United States weakened, diminished and divided, why Obama must be defeated -- and how he can be." Right and President George W. Bush walked on Water and did everything right. Please. I say that Corsi may have stayed in the game just a wee bit too long.
