Admit it – if _you_ had adversaries as annoying and as stupid as the birthers, you’d play with them like a cat with a half-dead mouse. ---

Is there maybe some sort of contest in the Republican Party? Like…who can say the absolute dumbest thing before ‘the base’ calls them on it? Everybody puts in a sawbuck for each stupid thing and the one who actually gets called out by the Tea Party faithful wins? The pot must pretty big now. ---
