Dinesh D’Souza is now basically taking a victory lap around conservative media outlets after having avoided a prison sentence for violating campaign finance laws, appearing on Glenn Beck’s radio show today to assert that he was directly targeted by President Obama because Obama is “a petty, vindictive guy.”

I mean, he’s got family members who have each other followed, they spread rumors and try to undermine each other, they hire people to look out and so this is a very bizarre situation and Obama is a very petty, vindictive guy.”
