I see that Lou Dobbs is continuing to take seriously the "birthers" — the clowns who claim that Barack Obama wasn't really born in Hawaii and is therefore president illegally.  I'm very pleased to hear this, since it means maybe — just maybe — it will finally make obvious to the broader world just how far off his rocker Dobbs has gone.  If it does, it will have been worth it.

POSTSCRIPT: And as long as we're on the subject, note that this guy is my congressman.  Dresses nice, doesn't he?
