More work for Dave Weigel as dentist/lawyer/real estate agent/birther champion Orly Taitz tells World Net Daily that she has President Obama's 1961 birth certificate from the Republic of Kenya -- which didn't exist until 1964. That and um, the president was born in Hawaii.
That probably won't stop CNN's Lou Dobbs from wanting to "tell the whole story" regarding a picture of a piece of paper on the internet, even though AP writes that he's become a "publicity nightmare" for CNN because of his obsession with the conspiracy theory surrounding the president's birth. (If no one in the newsroom will stand up to Dobbs, maybe they can sit down with CNN's corporate bosses and figure it out -- that seems to be the way newsroom conflicts are handled on cable networks these days.)
Meanwhile, Glenn Thrush asks, "When do we start a serious dialog about the Birther movement being a proxy for racism that is unacceptable to articulate in more direct terms?"
Come on Glenn. It's obvious that Obama's supporters are the real racists. They all voted for some black guy who isn't even American!
