Faux News hosts pretend birther author’s novel is non-fiction
Fox News is helping a former Republican congressman spread the myth that President Barack Obama was born in Kenya.

Appearing on Fox News Monday, John LeBoutillier explained that his new fictional book uses "real things" like Obama's grandmother once claimed she was present for his Kenyan birth.

LeBoutillier's new book, The Obama Identity: A Novel (Or Is It?), seems to be referring to a 2008 World Net Daily article where a Pennsylvania man is said to have a telephone recording of Obama's grandmother.

"Ed Klein and I, when we wrote this book, used real things in a book of fiction," LeBoutillier told Fox News hosts Steve Doocy and Brian Kilmeade.

"There's so much real stuff in this book. Like you asked me before we came on the air about Obama's grandmother living today in Kenya. And we have her in the book. It's fiction but in reality, she has claimed consistently that he was born in Mombasa, Kenya. She said this adamantly on the record. We took that and used it in the book in a very funny way," he said

1. This is the transcript from that phone call.
I was cleaning out my bookmarks the other day and found it. Go to page 18 where the guy is told the POTUS was born in Hawaii.

2. Another chin-less wonder, LeBoutillier.
And wasn't Ed Klein the asshole who wrote that stupid book on Hillary, claiming that Wellesley is a hotbed of lesbianism? Since I went to Wellesley, I looked up what he said, saw it was trash, and didn't need to waste further brain cells.
