In a moment of masochism this morning I turned on MSNBC. The panel of 37 (okay that’s a small exaggeration) was beside itself over Rick Perry’s comments Sunday about President Obama’s birth certificate. And if that wasn’t bad enough, how dare anyone request to see Obama’s grades in college?

Having read those comments several times now, I see absolutely nothing in Perry’s words that is not true or make him a birther. When asked what he thought about the birther issue Perry said:

I don’t have any idea. It doesn’t matter. He’s the president of the United States. He’s elected. It’s a distractive issue.

In Lamestream media speak that qualifies you as a birther.

Perry also brought up the president’s missing grades. The MSNBC crew ignored that part, apparently until they figure out how asking for the president’s grades is racist. Does that include Herman Cain or do we have a separate category for mixed race people born in Hawaii who went to private school.

Just asking.
