I read the _Post_ article. The good thing is, they ran it in the Style & Arts section. The bad thing is, they gave her about a full page’s worth of print. There aren’t enough rolleyes in the world for the reply I want to give the Post. And I’m a bit surprised the article didn’t discuss whether she had cited the classic political-persecution case of _SPQR v. Yesu bar-Yosef_. ---

But can Melanie Griffith and pravnik do accents? I’m still leaning toward Meryl Streep, because they can Lola the hell out of her. ---

[Titz slapped with $20,000 fine](http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2009/10/13/orly-taitz-slapped-with-2_n_318546.html), has no intentions of paying. [QUOTE=Judge Clay Land] Regrettably, the conduct of counsel Orly Taitz has crossed these lines, and Ms. Taitz must be sanctioned for her misconduct. After a full review of the sanctionable conduct, counsel’s conduct leading up to that conduct, and counsel’s response to the Court’s show cause order, the Court finds that a monetary penalty of $20,000.00 shall be imposed upon counsel Orly Taitz as punishment for her misconduct, as a deterrent to prevent future misconduct, and to protect the integrity of the Court. Payment shall be made to the United States, through the Middle District of Georgia Clerk’s Office, within thirty days of today’s Order. If counsel fails to pay the sanction due, the U.S. Attorney will be authorized to commence collection proceedings. [/QUOTE] [QUOTE=Loonball Lady’s reaction] In an interview with Talking Points Memo, Taitz said she had no intention of paying the fine. “Are you kidding? Of course not,” she said. “This is a form of intimidation.” [/QUOTE] [The full document.](http://www.scribd.com/doc/20996403/Gov-uscourts-gamd-77605-28-0) ---

Reading the Comments at Huffington is fun. > [@](#): > > I just read the entire order.

$5 says she will claim that her (soon to be happening)disbarment is a conspiracy, and she will refuse to recognise it. Within 1 year of that date she will be arrested for “impersonating a lawyer.” ---

Did you read the ruling? It’s full Oh Snap!s and Oh No She Di’nt!s. > [@](#): > > A mere seven days after losing in Texas, Ms. Taitz filed the same action in this Court. She again sought an emergency hearing on the motion. Reluctant to summarily deny a litigant her day in court, the Court scheduled a hearing on September 14, 2009, prior to Captain Rhodes’s scheduled deployment.[sniption] Because of the alleged urgent nature of the request, the Court Waived it’s local rule that requires counsel admitted pro hac vice to associate local counsel. It became apparent during the hearing on the motion that the Court’s waiver of this local rule was a mistake. . . As a footnote to how it should be that a President be removed from office, the good Judge added this footnote: > [@](#): > > The Court does not make this observation simply as a rhetorical device for emphasis; the Court has actually received correspondence assailing its previous order in which the sender, who, incidetally, challenged the undersigned to a “round of fisticuffs on the Courthouse Square,” asserted that the President is not human. [Seriously, read it. It’s hilarious.](http://tpmmuckraker.talkingpointsmemo.com/2009/10/judgement_day_birther_taitz_fined_20000_for.php) ---

No. This is a job that calls for nothing less than Faye Dunaway in full Joan Crawford Mode. An given that Taitz thinks Obama may not be human I can completely envision a scene with Obama taking the oath of office with his hand on the Bible, and Taitz somewhere out in the crowd screaming “It’s a cookbook!” ---

[http://www.rollingstone.com/politics/story/30205785/what\_birthers\_want/](http://www.rollingstone.com/politics/story/30205785/what_birthers_want/) Rolling Stone has her side. She believes Obamas grandmother was a welfare queen who wanted to get him registered in Hawaii so she could get welfare. She got doctors, and newspapers to buy in. Then she goes downhill from there. ---

O.K., NOW can we put her crazy ass on a plane to Morovia or Muldavia or where ever the hell she’s from? Surely this is more than teabagging sedition’s Schweddy balls, it’s full-throated swallowing.
