For anyone tracking the infamous Michelle Obama/whitey videotape, check out the latest from David Weigel of Reason, who has now completely exposed Larry Johnson:
In his peddling of this story, Johnson has altered his description of what was in the tape. I e-mailed Johnson, asked about the holes in the HillBuzz story, and called him a liar. He e-mailed me back:
“You and Reason in the same sentence? Now that’s funny. I don’t recall soliciting an email from you so fuck off.”
Until he comes out with a video tape that shows at least one of the many rumored “Michelle speeches,” I think that’s the last we need to hear from Larry Johnson.
