And I personally choose Freddoso's work over Corsi's.

So, Jim Geraghty’s throwing Corsi under the bus?

Wasn’t the saying “shook the hand that shook the world” a common saying during the late nineteenth-century bare-knuckle pugilist John L. Lewis’ height of fame?

It strikes me as unseemly to bash one anti-Obama book in favor of another anti-Obama book that happens to have been written by his colleague.

I also notice that, like the Democrat critics, he doesn’t seem to be able to cite any factual errors.

I’m sure it’s frustrating for his pal to write an Obama-basher and then get beaten out on the best seller list by another Obama-basher. But frankly this kind of rant won’t help.

Why not just suggest reading BOTH books. Especially since a ton of people have already bought Corsi’s book.

Both books are worth reading, but Freddoso's is the less breathless and better organized.

Meanwhile, an NR editor with a modestly well-honed sense of English usage should have homed in on Geraghty's "hones in" clanger.

I’m sure they’re both good books, but the reason Corsi’s book has gotten so much more attention is the title.

“In contrast, Freddoso hones in on one aspect of the Obama message, the idea that Obama is a reformer,”

Yeah, the ‘dime a dozen’ street-hustler a is a ‘reformer.’

That this lightweight is even taken seriously is astounding in it’s implications.

Has America completely lost it’s mind?

In a non-bizarro world he would be a mediocre drug dealer or — at the best! — a car or insurance salesman.

Unbelievable.
