Considering at least one local blogger has been saturating us with coverage of Mr. Sinclair, attempting to lend credibility to an incredibly bizarre and absurd story (from a man who has serious credibility problems), it’s appropriate to point out: He was arrested on Tuesday.
Key highlights from the Wired report:
Larry Sinclair, 46, was allowed to deliver his presentation to the smattering of reporters in attendance before deputy U.S. Marshals quietly led him away in handcuffs, Sinclair’s lawyer confirmed Thursday. Already burdened with a long rap sheet, Sinclair was wanted on a criminal warrant in Delaware….
Sinclair claims to have had sex and snorted drugs with Barack Obama in the back of a limousine in 1999 while Obama was a state legislator. The claims are unsubstantiated, and Sinclair first made them in a YouTube video released this January, which has garnered over 900,000 views — despite Sinclair’s long history of criminal fraud, and his flunking of a polygraph on the supposed tryst….
The morning of the event, Sinclair helpfully posted a picture of himself on his blog, and in a post warned Obama supporters not to try and crash his press conference.
The photo allowed Margot to phone the police with a description. Then she went down to the Press Club to see the results.
“They may not have stopped the press conference but the police did show up, and took him away,” she wrote in to the Mitch and Nan Show blog later. “I was just at the NPC building and there was one only police car left by the time I got there.”
The feds had to pull rank on Washington, D.C. police officers who also showed up to arrest Sinclair.
Sinclair appeared in D.C. superior court for his arraignment Thursday afternoon. The court clerk confirmed he’d been listed as a “fugitive from justice.”
Sinclair’s attorney Montgomery Sibley, whose license to practice law has been suspended in Florida and Washington, D.C., says that he has arranged for a lawyer to represent Sinclair in Delaware

I am not surprised that he was arrested. I think anyone speaking out against Mr. Obama would be arrested. They are going to try to silence him!
I can’t believe the media has been silenced by the Obama Chicago machine about this incident along with a lot more that we know they won’t let out. Everyone should be aware of this and think very seriously about whether they want this man to be president of the United States. It is frightening to allow this to happen. Everyone better band together and vote for McCain, a man we know to be honest
Millions of Americans have thought very seriously about this election, and millions of them believe that the particular brand of politics you espouse (which you attempt to belie by your paranoiac fantasies of a Chicago machine that has somehow “silenced” the media) is one of the main reasons our country is in such a quagmire right now.
It’s a politics built on inflammatory innuendo and flat-out lies, distortions, and defamation. Perhaps this is the way you view the discourse of politics. Perhaps this is a way politics has been mediated to many of us throughout the past fifteen or so years.
Unfortunately, many in politics trust in the maxim: If you can’t beat them on the issues, then you go personal. It becomes an absurd ad hominem debate built on lies and manipulations, instead of being a rich and constructive discussion.
This guy Sinclair and the way some exchanged this story (as if it has merit) are simply proof– to me at least– of their real struggle at articulating a political identity.
