Megan - Apparently, Media Matters predictions aside, birthers are the story that won't ever die. Even when it's not about their stupid claims, it's still all about them.

9:03

Pareene - Yeah, I haven't checked World Net Daily yet today but I can't imagine they're pleased their pet congressmen voted for the resolution declaring Hawaii Obama's birthplace. Not that the House vote will change the basic facts of their case, which is that Obama is illegitimate because a) he's black b) he's a secret Muslim c) he was born in Kenya d) he was born in Hawaii but is secretly British and e) he is a DALEK

Megan - Even Roger Simon is snarking them

I saw you make fun of the “birthers” on TV. You think we are a bunch of nuts and wackos. That just shows how pathetic you are. In fact, we are ordinary citizens — doctors, lawyers, teachers, plumbers, Pilates instructors — who are not afraid to speak the truth. We are Americans. We are your neighbors. Though once we gather enough dilithium crystals, we probably will be leaving your planet. .

Wild guess: Roger Simon edited that question ever-so-slightly. And then he added the bit about dilithium crystals.

Pareene - WorldNetDaily
Gibbs: 10,000 more important issues than eligibility
But he admits at news briefing questions won't go away
--WND

9:10

Pareene - THAT'S how you cover a blanket denial

9:10

Pareene - Gibbs ADMITS that WE WON'T STOP TALKING ABOUT IT

9:12

Pareene - I should prob advise readers unfamiliar with WND not to click on that link unless they want their MIND BLOWN with the TRUTH

9:12

Megan - I love how when this Administration admits to some piece of reality -- like that this story won't go away, or that the Hyde Amendment exists and has a lot of support in Congress -- they're viewed as making policy. American politics has gotten so bad that admitting to reality is considered something you just don't do.

Speaking of a tenuous connection with reality, they have discovered the identity of the Delaware birther: Crazy Eileen. The aliens apparently told her about Obama. That's why she keeps her birth certificate in a plastic bag, so she can store it up her ass when they take her ot their planet.

9:15

Megan - Oh, and your old friend Michelle Malkin has a new book coming out. She's not a fan of the current Administration.

9:16

Pareene - Yeah, did you hear the clip of Crazy Eileen on the radio? One of her own predictions for this year is that Hillary Clinton will assume the presidency, which means we may not have birth certificates for Joe Biden, Robert Byrd, or Nancy Pelosi.

9:18

Pareene - Of course Byrd's birth certificate was printed on papyrus so it might not have survived into the 20th and 21st centuries, but still.

9:18

Megan - And we all know that if it's electronic, it doesn't count.

9:20

Pareene - God, was Malkin's book designed by a Penguin intern? The same intern in charge of her "research," probably.

9:21

Pareene - New York Times columnist David Brooks laid claim to the most soaked keyboard and stained carpet in the business. He praised Team Obama’s “open-minded individuals” and “admired professionals.” He raved about their “postpartisan rhetoric” and “practical creativity.” And — ooooh-la-la! — how about the brains of all those brainy brainiacs? So smokin’ hot:

9:21

Megan - Ha, "research"! You're so cute sometimes.

Also, just so's you know, I read something she wrote a while back, about being on that list of conservative women that Playboy guy wanted to hate fuck. She didn't mention him having a YouTube video of her in a cheerleader outfit, but she's still really pissed at that Photoshopped bikini photo.

9:23

Pareene - That, Michelle, is the best example you could find of drooling and worshipful praise by a journalist? Anyone who wins a PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION counts as an "admired professional."

9:25

Pareene - But yes I respect Malkin's wish not to be objectified as a sex object and recognize her right to be judged purely as one of the most hateful and vile human beings ever to have her husband ghostwrite racist lies under her name

9:26

Megan - But, you know, if you're not insulting his parentage, questioning his citizenship, accusing him of smoking crack and letting a homeless guy suck his dick, referring to him as a Muslim, calling him a racist and insulting everything he's ever done or ever will do, you're obviously a sychophant.

9:29

Megan - Also, birther lawyer extraordinaire Orly Taitz is claiming she's got the support of the GOP because they're her Facebook friends now.

9:34

Pareene - Hah. I mean obviously Facebook friendship with someone is meaningless, but on the other hand WHY APPROVE A FRIEND REQUEST FROM ORLY TAITZ IF YOU ARE TRYING TO DISTANCE YOURSELF FROM HER CRAZINESS?
