Excellent Ken Vogel piece in The Politico on anti-Obama author Jerome Corsi's loopier ideas. I hadn't known, for example, that George Bush was looking to merge the United States with Mexico and Canada.
The fact that the press is reporting this stuff and challenging Corsi's credibility adds credence, I think, to my assertion from yesterday that his book won't necessarily have a huge impact simply because it's a number-one best-seller. But we don't know yet. It would be nice to see John McCain say there's no place for this kind of garbage, but, as Joe Klein points out with great force and brio, that was the old John McCain who would have done that.
