Arizona Secretary of State Ken Bennett has been in hot pursuit of extra-double email verification from the Hawaii government of Barack Obama's birth certificate. Bennett made a pledge to the state's voters -- no extra-double email verification, no Obama on the ballot. What's the big deal, haters? He's only seeking this unique extra verification because serious, trustworthy sages such as Jerome Corsi and Joe Arpaio and his 1,200 worst constituents told him it was necessary. It is his duty, to get the birth certificate. Again. For just Obama. It is not pandering, he promises. (Sadly for him, the only other explanation besides pandering would be that he's a genuine warm-blooded idiot.) Now who
It gets better: &quot;On Monday morning, two men self-identified as being from the Maricopa County Sheriff&#039;s Office in Phoenix went to the [Honolulu] DOH office requesting a verification Obama&#039;s birth certificate, <a href="http:\/\/www.civilbeat.com\/articles\/2012\/05\/21\/15901-arizona-demands-obama-birth-certificate-but-takes-a-pass-on-romneys\/." target="_blank">according to DOH spokeswoman Janice Okubo</a>.&quot;
Yep, Bennett spent AZ state funds to send TWO of his goons to Hawaii, to further advance his little personal unicorn hunt. You won&#039;t <i>believe</i> what they&#039;re finding!
She&#039;s clearly having a hell of a lot of fun with these jokers. I hope Bennett has to prove who HE is, with a certified birf cert. And that he then gets told, &quot;sorry, we need the long form.&quot;
&quot;But during the interview, Bennett, a Republican and Mitt Romney&rsquo;s Arizona co-chair, also said that if he doesn&rsquo;t get a satisfactory answer from Hawaii, it&rsquo;s &#039;possible&#039; he&rsquo;ll keep the president off the ballot in November.&quot;
Didn&#039;t we go through all this hot mess in 2000? Remember Wonkette&#039;s favorite Katherine Harris - Florida&#039;s Secretary of State and Chair of the Bush for President Committee?
Just how can people responsible for elections also serve as officials on the campaigns for candidates?
I believe the phrase is &quot;you broke it, you own it&quot;
Repubican inability to discern fact from fiction on something as rudimentary as Obama&#039;s birthplace explains everything about how they govern.

They should just start charging, say, $500 for a certified copy. They could turn a tidy profit off of all the birther morons.

My advice at this point is, don&#039;t leave the house without your papers.
Good thing they has the munniez for the extended warranty.
There&#039;s not a whole lof of difference between bowing down to Jeebus, and bending over for him.
Oops. Official AZ inquiry to Detroit&#039;s public records office coming in 3, 2, 1...
But ... will he blend?
death certificates or GTFO
Sounds more like Sheriff Joe&#039;s &quot;Cold Case Posse&quot; than the Secretary of State&#039;s office.
A small corn one, or a big long-form wheat one?
A black man saying that something&#039;s so, in Arizona, is probable cause for thinking that it ain&#039;t.
Kenya believe it?
