Sorry, but this is simply babbling nonsense. The paper copies and PDF weren’t generated from decades-old data. The alleged long-form would have been a hard copy that had to be copied onto a current form. It wouldn’t be in any kind of data form. This is really a new low in fogger-styled excuses.

Right. No fancy digital mumbo-jumbo is involved when copying a document from microfiche onto security paper.

...Except when there is no microfiche, and only an ancient digital rendering.

No one believes that document is anything other than a piece of crap.

The trolls are just trying to keep busy.

The State Department of Hawaii: “We’ll Need That in Writing”

Trolling Style: Attrition. Back in May, the State Department of Hawaii was so sick of being asked for Obama’s birth certificate by Arizona Secretary of State Ken Bennett that they trolled him. Like the way a kitten plays with a ball of yarn (kittens do, that we’re told), they asked Bennett to write out his ridiculousness before they conceded the documents. Oh, and did we mention the media got ahold of those trolly memos—and no, we don’t think it was Bennett’s choice to supply them.
