It is more proper to say.....

"The timing of the speech with the release of the book is uncanny."

Of course it seems like Oaks was right back in 1985. It would be well to heed the warning.

"Evil speaking of the Lord’s anointed is in a class by itself. It is one thing to depreciate a person who exercises corporate power or even government power. It is quite another thing to criticize or depreciate a person for the performance of an office to which he or she has been called of God. It does not matter that the criticism is true."
