How Can Miriam Goderich Make The Obama-Kenyan Literary Mistake When She Began Working at the Literary Agency in 1995?



Northeast Texas Writers' Organization on Miriam Goderich who issued this statement:
"You're undoubtedly aware of the brouhaha stirred up by Breitbart about the erroneous statement in a client list Acton & Dystel published in 1991 (for circulation within the publishing industry only) that Barack Obama was born in Kenya. This was nothing more than a fact checking error by me -- an agency assistant at the time. 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."
Agency assistant "at that time". Which is kind of funny because Dystel says:
Miriam Goderich and Jane Dystel have been partners since 1995
Was she an assistant in 1991?
