I’m always sceptical when people say that there is a specific Derangement Syndrome in the blogosphere, and in society, simply because some people have the tendency to use DS in virtually every situation in which a politician they support is criticized, but today I have to admit it’s real.

Why do I say so? Because quite some members of the so-called blogosphere linked to a story at African Press International. According to API they spoke to Michelle Obama on the phone yesterday. They published some remarks she made online.

Problem is, when you read the ‘interview,’ it’s perfectly clear it’s fake. There’s simply no reasonable person on earth who can believe that Obama would speak in the (sophomoric) manner attributed to her in the article. Nor is it even remotely likely that she would say the extreme things API attributed to her. Lastly, the chances of those remarks being correct are non-existent. Zero. Nada.

Only the most ODS obsessed individual could possibly accept the story as real.

Here are some fantastic quotes from the ‘interview’:

* “African press International is supposed to support Africans and African-American view. It is strange that API has chosen to support the racists against my husband. There is no shame in being adopted by a step father. All dirt has been thrown onto my husband’s face and yet he loves this country. My husband and I know that there is no law that will stop him from becoming the president, just because some American white racists are bringing up the issue of my husband’s adoption by His step father.”

* “The important thing here is where my husband’s heart is at the moment. I can tell the American people that My husband loves this country and his adoption never changed his love for this country. He was born in Hawaii, yes, and that gives him all the right to be an American citizen even though he was adopted by a foreigner; says Michelle Obama on telefon [sic] to API.”

* “Even if my husband was able to prove that he is not a Muslim, he will not be believed by those who have come out strongly to destroy his chances of being the next President. Do real people expect someone to deny a religion when 80 percent of his relatives are Muslims?”

Now, again, the above can only be taken serious if you believe two things:

1. That Obama is evil reincarnated

2. That Michelle Obama is the most stupid woman on earth

Note to quite some members of the conservative blogosphere: you’re scaring me. You’re going insane. Take a breather, take a break, come back two weeks later, when you’re less… insane.
