    OMG! Keep the "Birthers" Distraction Story in the Headlines!

    I can't get enough of the MSM derision and dismissal of, then resurrection of, then somber concern for those who might be misled by, then pompous disinterest in, then total silence about, The Birthers.

    The Obama nationality issue always struck me as a straw-man argument put forward by some bored, underutilized member of his political campaign. Why has this stillborn story been resuscitated? Why now?

    Can you say "Misdirection!?" Can you say "Damage Control!?"

    Can you say "Poll numbers dropping like giant boulders off high cliffs!?" ;)
