Stupidity is Cheap

Stephanie Mencimer at Mother Jones:
Is President Barack Obama spending millions of dollars to hide the truth about his citizenship?

[...]

Roger West, an assistant US attorney in the central district of California, represented the government in a lawsuit brought by Taitz on behalf of perennial presidential candidate Alan Keyes, asking the court to require that Obama prove he is a natural-born citizen. The case has dragged on for more than a year, mostly because Taitz, a graduate of an online, unaccredited law school, failed to serve the defendants. Judge David O. Carter dismissed the suit in October for a host of reasons, but Taitz has appealed. Yet West says that far from bleeding his office, Taitz and her co-counsel Gary Kreep have assembled such a weak case that he hasn't had to spend much time on it. "I filed one motion that didn't take too long, we've had two hearings and that's it," he says. "It's not like we've devoted some sort of task force to this."

Heh heh.

I'd devote a TASK force to Orly.

Lemme take your deposition, sweetheart...

FEC asks for $20.40. That decimal point has to be in the wrong place.

Another of her cases only went forward because the federal judge basically begged the defendants to let Taitz serve them

Mikey is unlikely to get service from Orly.

He wants to provide service, I think. Or depose her.

But he might as well fuquit.

Gary KREEP? The jokes just write themselves here.

Kreep's the original teabagger. Discounting, I guess, the guys who dressed up as Indians and stuff.

He looks like Stephen Hawking's stupid little brother.

(Are you feeling tired and run down? Ask your doctor about DARINAL!)

I used to like MJ. But it has been getting worse for a while.

When Stephen Hawking is your big brother you're inevitably going to seem a little slow by comparison. On the other hand, you could probably dunk on his ass all day long.
