Sheriff Joe Arpaio of Arizona is bound and determined to make sure we never forget the embarrassment of the birther movement. Most of us would love to put that ugly little racist blip in our history -- a time when conspiracy theorists and fools alike accused President Barack Obama of not being American. But Arpaio, a sheriff in Phoenix, Arizona, just won't give it up.
Can we say beating a dead horse, people? Sometimes it seems like certain politicians just do things to help out Stephen Colbert, Jon Stewart, and Bill Maher. After all, how else does anyone explain Arpaio's inane and insane assertion that Obama, a man who produced his birth certificate last year, isn't American?
See his ranting [here].
"Forgery or fraud may have been committed," says Arpaio. Ooooh no! Are ghosts and goblins real, too, Sheriff Arpaio? How about the Loch Ness Monster? Do you go visit old Nessie on your days off from enforcing the laws of Arizona?
In all seriousness, this is vile racism plain and simple. In a place like Arizona, it's no surprise -- after all, many politicians there (including Arpaio) hold rather Draconian views on immigration -- and it's disgusting. And it's getting old fast.
For all you doubters for whom book learning was apparently a challenge, here are the facts: President Barack Obama was born in Honolulu on August 4, 1961. He has produced both a certificate of live birth during the 2008 campaign and the long-form certificate last year. Neither has been disproved.
So why is this still going on? Arpaio seems like a joke, but, according to Obama campaign spokesman Ben LaBolt, Republican Presidential hopeful Mitt Romney doesn't think so. Yesterday LaBolt tweeted:
Romney has called Arpaio for his endorsement, his aides called "weekly" and Arpaio was his honorary Chair in 08.That's embarrassing. The fact is, most people agree Arpaio is a few cards shy of a full deck, but here we are still talking about him. Is this an alternate universe? Why am I guessing this guy is the type of person who stays at parties hours after they have ended asking for more chips and guacamole? Dude, the party is over, the ship has sailed, and you are beating a dead horse.
Sadly, there aren't enough cliched ways to say IT'S OVER to make it any clearer to this guy.
Feedback loop.
Leftists are miserable, and only enjoy miserable company.
Once you get involved with logic, you never know where it will go.
I’m going to bed, after a stop in the laundry room. Must be up early to start celebrating Anoreth’s birthday!
Happy Birthday Anoreth!!
Too soon ... she wasn’t born until the evening of the 27th.
I wanted to be first!
A child after my own month.
Try the gruntle! And please tip your server.

Full of confidence in her strength Tocqueville
She is small, but fierce. Shakespeare

Clueless, ignorant idiots on parade.
Happy Birthday from your Cyber Auntie in the North!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY, ANORETH!!!
Good morning! 48 degrees and sunny, off to Weight Watchers in a few minutes. Feel free to indulge in violent frivolity in my absence ...
HAPPY BIRTHDAY, Darkchylde and Anoreth!
Chocolate ganache covered Bavarian cream-filled donut pyramid, lemon cake and punch on the buffet table. Check out the freezer for vanilla ice cream. T-c’s bringing more libations later.
Oooh, it’s just wrong to put those doughnuts in front of me, when I’m just going to be weighed ...
Donuts and celebrations trump weigh-ins. So there. (You get the logic behind the fact that nobody can ruin Christmas for me?)
I lost 2 lbs.
Whoopwhooopwhooooooop! indeed!
See? You deserve a donut to keep up your strength! (What is your secret? Iron-willed determination? Have your jaws wired? Please share!)
Have you heard from the birthday ladies yet?
