Birthermania

Well, lookie here! According to a poll commissioned by Daily Kos (and what could be more reliable than that?), a whopping 58% of Republicans either believe President Obama wasn't born in the US (28%) or aren't sure (30%). Even in the brave new culture of proud ignorance, I have trouble believing those numbers.

I have my own interpretation of the numbers - 58% of [the surveyed] Republicans are willing to feign stupidity as an additional crutch to help deal with their fear and abhorrence of having a liberal black man as the president.

Nice party you got there, GOP. You must be proud.
