A Proud Day For America - Birther Edition

A self-promoting huckster with a sleazy television show and a history of bad business deals accuses the President of the United States of not being born in America, and the President is forced to respond with his long form birth certificate.

That Donald Trump is somehow guiding this discussion is perhaps one of the saddest and most despicable aspects of the entire story.  A man whose own background is so checkered that his so-called "reputation" crumbles at a glance, he nevertheless manages to command the attention of the television networks and press establishment.  What next?  Bernie Madoff challenging Barack Obama's tax return?

The only saving grace of this entire grotesque (and soon to be forgotten) blip is that it's pushing poor Sarah Palin toward a much deserved "trivial pursuit question" status.
