If ridiculouser isn’t a word it should be because it describes Sammy Korir’s increasingly ridiculous assertions. Sammy goes from aburdity to absurdity with his posts…..yesterday claiming to have inside information that 41 Kenyans will serve in the Obama White house and now claiming to be able to confirm Obama was born in Kenya.

Yes, I know there are more important things I could be spending my time on, but quite frankly I need a couple of days break from election returns and analysis and all that jazz.

Yesterday I received an email from a gentleman who offered his professional services to Sammy to help him get the tape aired in a matter of hours. The post he made offering his services was never taken out of moderation:

Today, Sammy, informs us that he can confirm that Obama was born in Kenya. I know I feel better having such a reliable source offering up his confirmation……..yes, that’s sarcasm.

I have contacted Phil Berg at an email address provided to me by someone who should know and I hope to here something back from him. If I do I will of course update and if I don’t I’ll try again.

I believe in free speech but where does it cross the line between free speech and libel?

UPDATE: Now the con man says he could get Obama’s Kenyan birth certificate if he wanted to:
