Good god, he's been out of political circulation too long — there are cobwebs in former House Majority Leader Tom DeLay's brain. As he prepares for his debut on Dancing With the Stars, the crooked pol tries his hand at some birther spinning, resulting in massive failure when Chris Matthews questions him.
DELAY: Well, I’d like the President to produce his birth certificate. I can. Most illegal aliens here in America can. Why can’t the President of the United States produce their birth certificate? [...]
Chris, will you do me a favor? Will you ask the President to show me his gift certificate — I mean, his — gift certificate — his birth certificate?
MATTHEWS: No, I’m not going to ask him.
DELAY: Oh, c’mon, please!

Let’s move on….
And I seem to recall a birth cerificate being produced anyway. Delay is supposed to be a leader who doesn’t spew misinformation. This is as bad as Palin talking Death Squads.
And have you noticed a lot of the flak is from people who already have health coverage?
Couple of thoughts.
Where were all these dolts when McCain was running? McCain was born in Panama.
Even if Obama had been born in Kenya, since his mother was a citizen, he’s considered a natural born citizen.
They are correct when they say that the newspaper birth announcement is not proof (although it’s great circumstantial evidence), but those sh!t-eating grins they have when they say it? C’mon!
I wonder what would happen if Obama strode in the press room one morning waving a birth certificate and said “here it is!”
I don’t know about him, but I only have a certified copy of the recorded document…not my original birth certificate. And I have not needed it since I got a passport.
Hammer toes, concentrate on your spangles and pretty shoesLeave all that pesky figuring out of running a Nation, to those who weren’t chased out of Congress on ethic charges…OK?
did you miss DeLay’s homophobic dig?When he held up the shoes he will have to wear on “Dancing with the Stars” and using a lisping voice called them “pumps” — he commented that they aren’t the kind of shoes that real Texans wear. Chris Matthews played along, asking if DeLay was going to be “light in those shoes” (maybe not exact quote, going on memory only).
No, it’s much more common for gay Texans hide in the closet with their cowboy boots like Gov. Rick Perry.
Yuck.
