This whole “birther’ idiocy now has a Florida connection. U.S. Rep. Bill Posey has introduced a bill in the House of Representatives that would require a presidential candidate to produce a birth certificate “together with such other documentation as may be necessary” to prove natural-born citizenship. It would kick in by 2012, in time to matter to incumbent President Barack Obama.
This is the same Brevard Republican who still can’t find time to add his name to the 159 signatories of HR 874, Rep. Bill Delahunt’s (D-Mass.) “Freedom To Travel To Cuba Act.”
