lol. worldnut daily's Joseph Farah may sue Esquire for it's satirical piece


Chris Moody - The Daily Caller Chris Moody - The Daily Caller – Wed May 18, 1:06 pm ET

An article on Esquire magazine’s website, claiming that the publisher of Jerome Corsi’s new book about President Obama’s birth certificate is pulling it from bookstores, may have been written as a parody, but not everyone is laughing.

The Esquire story, written by Mark Warren, spread across the Internet moments after being posted on the magazine’s website Wednesday morning. Esquire has said it was a joke and Warren told TheDC he has no regrets about posting it.

“He is an execrable piece of shit,” Warren said of Corsi.

Joseph Farah, editor and chief executive officer of World Net Daily Books, which published Corsi’s work, said he never spoke to the magazine and that the book is “selling briskly.”

How DARE anyone imply, even satirically, that Farah has any regard for the truth?
As long as there's a dollar to be plucked from some slack-jawed yokel's grimy hand, Joseph Farah will say anything, do anything, and any objective "truth" that stands in the way just better watch out for its own ass.

4. In the publishing world "Selling briskly" can mean almost anything.
They could take a ten-minute sample from Amazon and call it a survey.

"Selling briskly" is meaningless.

5. Corsi worked with John 'Smear Boat Liar' O'Neill.
Who once, small world that this is, "helped represent" Charles "Bill" White in his court proceedings with James R. Bath.
