Wow. Arizona is severely messed up.
It's a bit difficult to figure out what Arizona Governor Jan Brewer's appointed Secretary of State, Ken Bennett, is thinking. In February 2011, Bennett seemed to accept that Obama was legitimately born in Hawai'i.
But until a few days ago, Bennett refused to put Barack Obama's name on the ballot until he received a confirmation from the State of Hawai'i that Obama was indeed born in Hawai'i. Apparently the State of Hawai'i was not amused, and just ignored what it thought was surely just another idiot. After all, it's not as though the State of Hawai'i hasn't replayed this nightmare over and over.
So finally, with the threat of Obama's name actually being excluded from the ballot -- messy federal lawsuit making fun of Arizona averted -- Hawai'i sent Bennett confirmation that, for the millionth time, Obama indeed was born in Hawai'i.
But wait, the story doesn't end there.
Crazy Joe Arpaio (the sheriff who has feds on his tail for a series of civil rights violations) had decided that, by golly, the State of Hawai'i was involved in a conspiracy to hide the truth behind Obama's birth certificate. Nope, Crazy Joe's not going to take this standing...he sent a posse to Hawai'i to confirm in person that Obama's birth certificate is real.
The posse sat down with the deputy director of health and a deputy attorney general, who then explained that there was a legal meas to access the records they were searching for. Sorry Joe, but you have to follow the laws of Hawai'i just like anyone else, no exceptions for jackasses!
I'm just curious: did they fly first class, on last minute bookings? They may have wasted Maricopa County several thousand dollars when all they needed to do was call ahead of time.
Well, Joe's not happy, so it's not likely we've heard the end of the Birther Tales.
