Water is wet, and Gateway Pundit is full of crap. Past examples of Mr. Pundit’s craptitude include relying on a Rocky Mountain News article to “prove” Barack Obama is a citizen of Kenya, while conveniently ignoring that the RMN had subsequently distanced itself from “this erroneous information,” and best of all, slamming President Obama for writing a letter to former French President Jacques Chirac in response to a letter from … drum roll … former French President Jacques Chirac. I’m sure there are many other examples of Mr. Pundit’s craptastically bad reporting, but as a non-reader who only pays attention to him/her/it when other conservatives link to his crazy stories, these are the only ones I can cite off the top of my head.
Given his apparently perfect record of reporting misleading crap that was supposed to make liberals look bad but actually makes conservatives look bad for being gullible enough to believe it, I’m torn as to what to think about Mr. Pundit. Namely, is he (a) retarded or (b) a devious liberal trying to discredit conservatives by pretending to be one, spewing stupid, easily debunked crap, and then watching with glee as all the real conservatives follow him off the cliff?

Would you please display a copy of Obama’s BC.
If you can’t please explain.
Thank you.
Otherwise keep your meme’s to yourself.

I don’t think the story is done yet. One thing that it does bring out, even if the claims of favoritism are unprovable, is the utter recklessness of political people making business decisions like that. It is completely unjustifiable to have political people involved in the decisions and therefore it leads to understandable suspicions of motive.

TJ: Already did, but in here it is again. I know, you birthers probably think it’s forged, or that there’s some fine legal distinction between a “certificate” and a “certification,” blah blah blah. Not going to re-hash that debate here. Even if the original birth certificate would have no bearing on whether Obama is a dual citizen or not, let alone on whether the RMN said he was or not.

Off-topic, but as a pseudonymous law-blogger who has been outed in the past, was wondering if you wanted to comment at all on Ed Whelan’s latest asshattery.

I’d missed that story, but now that you called my attention to it I did indeed weigh in.
