Latest In The Saga Of Birther Batshit Crazy
A Birther found this in the web archives:

Kenyan-born Obama all set for US Senate

Kenyan-born US Senate hopeful, Barrack Obama, appeared set to take over the Illinois Senate seat after his main rival, Jack Ryan, dropped out of the race on Friday night amid a furor over lurid sex club allegations.

The allegations that horrified fellow Republicans and caused his once-promising candidacy to implode in four short days have given Obama a clear lead as Republicans struggled to fetch an alternative.

Ryan’s campaign began to crumble on Monday following the release of embarrassing records from his divorce. In the records, his ex-wife, Boston Public actress Jeri Ryan, said her former husband took her to kinky sex clubs in Paris, New York and New Orleans.

The site is called the "Sunday Standard". This from the current site:

Sunday Standard is a member of the Botswana Press Council and fully subscribes to the country's Media Code of Ethics.

So now the birthers are pinning their hopes on an archived web story from 2004 where a Botswana online news source proclaimed Obama to be "Kenyan-born".

I'm certain that Orly Taitz is formulating an "emergency motion" to file in California as I typed this.

This will be pure comedy gold.

:rofl:

1. From wikianswers
To be in the United States Senate, you have to be at least 30 years of age, been a citizen of the U.S. for the past nine years, and who shall, when elected, be an inhabitant of the state in which you wish to represent.


So they needed the naturalization certificate to prove he'd been a citizen for at least 9 years! Why wasn't that demanded? :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

3. I am in love with that Onoz graphic.
And I've wanted to use it on my FAcebook page, but animated gifs don't work there. Phooey!

4. Tim Pawlenty was hatched from an egg fertilized on the international space station
There, I've typed it. Now when Pawlenty runs for president in 2012 I can retrieve this link to prove that I am correct.
