Who could have imagined that I’d be sitting here writing about “The Birther” mania. I didn’t fully understand the complexity or absurdity of the Obama birther conspiracy theory until I heard Jon Stewart’s parody yesterday . It was hilarious …. John Stewart at his best and well worth a look.
Chris Matthews interviewed G. Gordon Libby yesterday regarding the Obama birther uproar. Yes that’s the same G. Gordon Libby from Nixon and Watergate fame and misfortune. The interview was as funny as Stewart’s schtick. Libby sounds like a bumbling stumbling fool as Chris Matthews drills him with facts and documents supporting Barack Obama’s birth in Hawaii. I found the interview funny not because of the exchange between Matthews and Libby. Neither Matthews nor Libby is particularly funny. It was funny because of the absurd reality that people like Lou Dobbs, Chris Matthews, John McCain and John Stewart are even discussing an Obama Birther theory.
People, People we have real news to cover. The facts on this one are clear and those pushing the theory look utterly silly. Let go of The Birther thing it doesn’t deserve another news cycle.
