Dispatches from Birtherstan - for 19 - 21 June 2010

In today's dispatches, Dr. Orly continues to be the legal and human equivalent to a vuvuzela - high pitched, annoying, and basically useless.

Tim Adams gets on TV and shoots his own foot. Walter Fitzpatrick is annoyed that other right-wing parasites are milking his name to raise money. 25% is still 25% unless you're a nitrous-huffing dentist/lawyer with spiders glued to her eyelids. Sammie Sewell is flogging his own pony at Citizen Wells, with a trip back to see why Sammie used pop psychology to "prove" McCain would be the obvious winner in 2008.

The RAPmasters of Birtherstan are pumping out the lame-ass rhythms of the Sovereign Citizens homies, with a new magic flag to rid themselves of the evil fringe. JB Williams seems to be ignoring facts and reality - again, which has gotten the inmates at The Pest and eFail all hot and bothered. Dr. Orly creates a "Draft Orly" petition to support her failed 2012 run for Senate. And a tea party group just says "no" to birthers.

To clarify. Orly Taitz got 25%, not of the California Voters, but of the Republican voters who voted for Secretary of State in California in the Republican Primary. Currently, to vote for (or against, depending on how you do your primary voting) Republican in the Primary in California, you have to be a member of the Republican Party.

In the last primary (2008), you could vote Democrat (Obama, Clinton, Edwards, etc.) even if you weren't Democrat (Green, Independent, independent, decline-to-state, etc.) but only Republicans could vote for McCain, or Romney, etc...

Soooooo.... only 25% of the voting Republicans were nuts or "I dunno, flip a coin" enough to vote for her. It sure doesn't mean that 25% of California is behind her!

Actually it'd be hilarious if she won the Republican primary for SoS, because there'd be no chance in hell she'd win a state election. :)
