News Roundup for 3/29/11

Al Qaeda operative

-Headline of the day-
"Trump fails to produce birth certificate."

Donald Trump simply doesn't trust Barack Obama, because he hasn't come out with a "long form" birth certificate from Hawaii. Not the one he has produced, which is legal and binding and all sorts of other stuff, but the magic one.

And to prove that producing a magic BC is no big deal, The Donald produced his own. Ha! Take that, you secret Muslim terr'ist!

Except there was a little hitch: the document Trump produced was not a legal document. Oops! According to the report, "an actual birth certificate, which is issued by the Department of Health, would have the agency's seal and also a signature of the city registrar - neither of which the Trump document has."

So we can only assume that, like that Obama character, Donald Trump is a secret Muslim terr'ist!

Well, Team Trump fixed that right pronto. Trump produced another BC and this one appears to be legal -- emphasis on "appears to be." I'm saying it's a forgery. And it's not up to me to prove it. It's up to Donald Trump to disprove it, because that's the burden of proof that birthers like Trump demand.

So far, Trump has not addressed the fact that the document he produced may be a forgery, which can only mean that's exactly what it is. I say we take Trump to gitmo and waterboard him until he tells us what he's up to and why he's working with al Qaeda.

Seriously, what's he trying to hide? (Politico)

"CRUISE SHIP CONFESSION: Top Fox News Executive Admits Lying On-Air About Obama."

Fox Washington managing editor Bill Sammon says that calling Obama a socialist is "mischievous speculation" that's "rather far-fetched." Which, of course, is why he did just that during the 2008 presidential campaign.
