Doonesbury Say What?

"I'm just asking President Obama to show the public his birth certificate. Why's he making an issue out of this?"
— Donald Trump

I guess he's had his head in the sand for the last 3 or so years? It's nice to see that the Birthers have a new rallying point.

For The Donald's edification (would that be his Secret Service code name if he were elected?), here's a Snopes link for him to peruse.

The last paragraph of one such link had some very interesting content:

"In August 2008, Philadelphia attorney Philip Berg filed suit in U.S. District Court challenging Barack Obama's eligibility for the presidency on the grounds that Obama was actually born in Kenya (not Hawaii) and/or subsequently gave up his U.S. citizenship and thus does not qualify as a native-born citizen of the U.S. Lawsuits over candidates' eligibility are not uncommon: similar lawsuits (none of them successful), for example, have been filed challenging the citizenship status of John McCain (who was born in the Panama Canal Zone), challenging the Wyoming residency status of Dick Cheney (who was born in Wyoming but moved to Texas), and challenging the citizenship status of 1964 Republican presidential nominee Barry Goldwater (who was born in Arizona before that territory was admitted as a state)."

Pretty sure the only ones making an issue out of this are Trump and the Birthers (that could totally be a band name.)

Trump and the Birthers, opening tonight for Billy and the Boingers! W00t!

Billy and the Boingers would never let an act like that anywhere near them. Not after the Mary Kay Commandos incident...

*a gold star for SA!*

I could definitely see Steve Dallas going to a Trump and the Birthers gig.

That I will believe. Billy's too busy with his own scandals to invite more. Plus, he might accidentally get the crowd to say what they really thought of the concept - "Ack!"

It's really rather weird how that one just keeps getting resurrected. I don't think a Birther would be satisfied even if they went into the Vital Records archives and pulled the original out themselves.

They probably wouldn't recognize it if you were to wrap the original around a 2x4 and beat 'em with it. But then again, it could be the blurred vision from the head trauma that's preventing the recognition. ;-)
