Washington State's Very Own Birther

Oh, hello crazies. Mike Stark of the Huffington Post and FireDogLake chased down Republicans in D.C. to ask if they believe our President is in fact a native-born citizen of our country. And who's that, second in the video, unwilling to call out a lunatic fringe movement? Why that would be Congresswoman Cathy McMorris Rodgers (R-WA), who has represented Washington's 5th District (which includes Spokane) since 2005 and "would like to see the documents." Rep. Rodgers, it's okay to call a crazy spade a crazy spade without worrying about your chances at re-election. (Conspiracy theorists like the birthers are far too paranoid to put a ballot in the mail, lest they play into the hands of the assuredly totalitarian, communist Postal Service.) In comparison, Dave Reichert of Washington's 8th District comes off looking downright reasonable.
