Dispatches from Birtherstan - 19 April 2011

In today's dispatches, one of the biggest pieces of news of course is that Arizona Governor Jan Brewer vetoed that state's undead birther bill. And you can just imagine the screaming, wailing, and gnashing of teeth that the birtherstani are doing as a result. Which means the only birther bill to date that made it out of committee and onto the floor was killed before it could cost that state any more legal fees.

But it's not all sweet, sweet birther tears. Pennsylvania and Louisiana join the birther bill parade. Davenport goes "was I wrong? Should I not have said the President's family are chimps?" . Trump plays a "I'll show you mine if you show me yours" game, while ignoring any facts he can. A poll in Iowa shows that the sane Republicans in that state are barely holding even. Shere Zieve seems to have completely ignored GW Bush's vacation habits.

But there's two items in today's dispatches I want to highlight. The first is that James Manning has a mad. But this time not at Obama per se, but the various birtherstani who he thought were his friends, and who dumped him like a bad habit to get into Donald Trump's good graces. Manning doesn't seem to understand that unlike Manning, Trump has a name and money.

Oh yeah, and a more acceptable skin colour too.

The second is an interview the Pest and eFail does with Walter Fitzpatrick. One that I really really hope the FBI and local law enforcement takes special note of. And soon. Real soon.
