Enabled by the Internet and crazies like Rush Limbaugh, Lou Dobbs and Fred Thompson, right-wingers ("birthers") are spreading the smear that the Commander-in-Chief is not a son of Hawaii or a son of anywhere near the good ole USofA. The esteemed McClatchy D.C. Bureau demolished those frauds today with a masterful piece by Steven Thomma. It was headed: "Here's the truth: 'Birther' claims are just plain nuts." There is a bonus from McClatchy. The comment section includes the following gem from "JessWonderin:"
I am a Kenya prince here in Nairobi. I have original Obama Kenya birth certificate in a safe deposit box. I fear for my life, and as a Christian wish to send it to you for safe-keeping. Please send your bank information and address to me so I can pay the small box rent fee and shipping to send it courier to you. It is vital you tell no one and God love to you as fellow concerned Christian.
Signed,
Dr. Moubuto Obenteabaggin, Crown Prince in Exile, Lagos, Nigeria.
Go for it, Rush, Lou and Fred. The Crown Prince also is a big fan of those wonderful tea bag protests that you guys were flogging over Independence Day.
In the unlikely event that the Crown Prince turns out to be a spammer, he or she has a wonderful career awaiting with Jon Stewart, Steven Colbert or SNL.
