NY evangelical college probes 'Obama' filmmaker

A conservative scholar behind a high-grossing documentary that condemns President Barack Obama is under investigation by the evangelical college he leads over a report he took a woman who is not his wife to an event on Christian values.

The King's College board announced the review on Tuesday, the day the conservative Christian newsmagazine WORLD reported event organizers had confronted Dinesh D'Souza about sharing a hotel room with a woman he introduced as his fiancee. D'Souza filed for divorce from his wife, Dixie D'Souza, a few days after the conference, California court records show.

The event, Truth for a New Generation, was held the weekend of Sept. 28 in South Carolina.

In a brief telephone interview with The Associated Press, Dinesh D'Souza, who became president of The King's College in 2010, said he and his wife have been "living in a state of separation for two years." He denied sharing the hotel room with the other woman.

enough to disqualify him from running a Bible beater college, much less having a fiancee=girlfriend on the side.

If they don't fire his ass, Kings College should change their name to Hypocrite U.

Well, Dinesh, it should be a matter of producing receipts for 2 different rooms then.......

"Obviously, I wouldn't have introduced her as my fiancee if I thought we were doing anything improper," D'Souza said, adding they have called off their engagement.

Well you see now, Dinesh, that may be obvious to you but to us rubes out here in the sticks who like to think the worst of people, well, no that is not obvious to us at all. Actually the only obvious thing here is that your tail is caught in a crack and you are desperately treading water to try and make this go away. Well guess what, Dinesh, it is not going away. Live with it.
