Re: Romney's "Birther" Joke

Doesn't anyone on the President's campaign staff who's now overcome with indignation remember that he -- or at least his literary agent -- were the original "birthers"?

You could even say they were "birthers" before being "birthers" was cool . . . or at least an absurd punch line for an obvious joke.
