Thump Thump, Thump Thump, Bus Backing Out Over The Cherokee Maiden

FORMER HARVARD ADMIN THROWS WARREN UNDER THE BUS

Finally, the administration at Harvard awoke and realized how big a mess Elizabeth Warren has created for them. It appears now they have put the bus in reverse and backed out slowly, but rolled over something rather pale on the way out. Thump thump. 

The thing most notable in this deflowering of Elizabeth Warren, which she brought upon herself,  is that the Breitbart legacy has followed this fox all the way down the foxhole. This Breitbart.com story is somewhat of a hint as to where this is leading. They never loose the scent and they don't quit. And they are not afraid to go it alone where ever it leads.

These people are smart and never over-promise and under-deliver. There is more here, here. And they probably already have those stories prepared and ready to publish.

Earlier I commented to a post at Legal Insurrection wherein Professor Jacobson addressed his feeling that more unflattering information would be discovered. I feel much the same way. My comment asked the Professor if Ms Warren might be in personal legal jeopardy by her misrepresentations made on EEOC diversity compliance reports. Surely it can't be legal to misrepresent yourself as a member of a protected minority to gain a position. I will be curious to see if he addresses that issue.

You never know, this could lead to a guy from Hawaii misrepresenting himself as being of Kenyan or Indonesian descent to secure an affirmative action position at any Ivy League school. And that would be tragic.

Aloha!

‘Born in Kenya': Obama's literary agent misidentified his birthplace in 1991 - ABC News

The explanation being offered for the Kenyan birth reference is explained here:

Miriam Goderich edited the text of the bio; she is now a partner at the Dystel & Goderich agency, which lists Obama as one of its current clients.
"This was nothing more than a fact checking error by me--an agency assistant at the time," Goderich wrote in an emailed statement to Yahoo News. "There was never any information given to us by Obama in any of his correspondence or other communications suggesting in any way that he was born in Kenya and not Hawaii. I hope you can communicate to your readers that this was a simple mistake and nothing more."

Let's think this through. Dystel and Goderich was engaged by Barack Obama as his literary agent. Obama was writing a book they intended to promote and were preparing materials to do so. Part of the promotional material for the book is a biography of the author.

It seems reasonable that the author would provide the agency with biographical data for the summary. And clients generally review these bios in draft form for accuracy. Miriam Goderich says she made edits to his biography and "misidentified" his place of birth as Kenya. This "clerical error" stayed in print and on their website unchallenged until 2007.

But, as more information drips out, it looks like this same error happened more often than just this single incident. Maybe Dystel and Goderich could just release all the original documentation and extinguish this firestorm. 

There seems to be intrigue everywhere in President Obama's biography, regardless of where you believe he was born. This is far from over.

From listening to several of the Breitbart writers on the radio, it sounded like they have additional information that will be released as they deem most effective.

The real grist in this story may end up being less about where Barack Obama was born, and more about where he represented himself being born as a young man and more importantly, why? 

Drip, drip, drip.

The Vetting - Exclusive - Obama's Literary Agent in 1991 Booklet: 'Born in Kenya and raised in Indonesia and Hawaii'

Whoa Nellie! Stop the presses! Call Drudge! Call Breitbart!

Everybody stay cool, cool like Luke.

What we have here is a failure (not) to communicate.

And by failure not to communicate, I mean everybody hush; hide everything. Remember how we did this last time?

Don't make any references to Indonesia or Kenya. Got it? Now about Auntie Zeituni, that could be an old  Cherokee family name, right?  She has high cheek bones. And Uncle Omar. Onyango, doesn't that sound Irish?  Think Hawaii people, the beautiful islands of Hawaii. Aloha.

And while we are battening down the hatches, check and make sure those grades don't jump out and scare somebody. And finally, don't forget to call the Reverend and make sure he is feeling appreciated. You know how he gets.

Got it.  Boss, if you need us for anything else we'll be over here shakin' the bushes.
