The Obama team is so desperate to attack the new Obama book they can't get their talking points straight
Anyone who has ever watched Fox news knows Bob Beckel is a liberal Dem who ran Mondull's failed 1984 Presidential campaign
Obama Goofs: Bob Beckel's a 'Republican'??

The liberal media tends to characterize Obama vs. Conservatives as Idealistic Truth vs. Cynical Falsehood. But at his terrific Campaign Blog at NRO, Jim Geraghty has exposed an embarrassing need for fact-checking in Obama's fact-checking "fight the smears" reports.
It would help Obama's campaign if they, while trying to refute Corsi, did not refer to Bob Beckel as a Republican strategist. Twice.
Republican Strategist Bob Beckel Said That He’s Convinced Michelle Obama Meant That She Had Seen People Unify Around The Basic Issues And It Made Her Proud.
Republican Strategist Bob Beckel said about Michelle Obama’s comment, “She should not have said it the way she said it, but in fairness to her, she said that she had seen people unify around the basic issues and it made her proud. But she was talking about was the fact that she was proud that people were starting to deal with politics from the top down. I am convinced that she meant it that way.” [Fox News Roundtable, 2/19/08]
Beckel, of course, managed ultra-lib Walter Mondale's campaign for president in 1984, the one that got steamrollered by Reagan. Now he'll have to fight off the Obama smear. Geraghty jokes: "Attention, Obama campaign: Not everyone who appears on Fox News is a Republican."

AP's Nedra Pickler Has Bigfoot in Mouth in Corsi Controversy

The back-and-forth over Jerome Corsi's book, "The Obama Nation," has been heated, largely unfair to the author, and predictably attacked by alleged "objective" journalists and Democratic mouthpieces
In her Thursday hit piece on Corsi's book, here is how Pickler described the online publication where Corsi writes a periodic column:
Corsi writes for World Net Daily, a conservative Web site whose lead headline Thursday was "Astonishing photo claims: Dead Bigfoot stored on ice."
Pickler's purpose, of course was to ridicule the web site, properly identified as WorldNetDaily (without spaces between the words), by comparing it to tabloid publications like the National Enquirer -- even though one of those terrible tabloids has been scooping AP and other traditional media on the John Edwards/Rielle Hunter story for months -- and to attempt to dent Corsi's fundamental credibility.
After all, the self-described and oh-so-dignified "Essential Global News Network" would never-never-never stoop so low as to do a story about Bigfoot.
