She just had her main "birther" case tossed out of court. The judge also put her on notice that the case was "frivolous" and that she will "face sanctions" if she brings another

Thank you, U.S. District Court Judge Clay Land. He didn't just go after Orly's client, who doesn't want to be deployed to Iraq under the orders of "‘an illegal usurper, an unlawful pretender, [and] an unqualified imposter." He went after Taitz' birther claims specifically:

"Finally, in a remarkable shifting of the traditional legal burden of proof, plaintiff unashamedly alleges that defendant has the burden to prove his ‘natural born’ status," Land states. "Any middle school civics student would readily recognize the irony of abandoning fundamental principles upon which our country was founded in order to purportedly ‘protect and preserve’ those very principles.

"Unlike in ‘Alice in Wonderland,’ simply saying something is so does not make it so," Land says.

The sooner Orly is disbarred, the better off the US legal profession will be.

I know a lot of us on Kos who are old enough to remember the 60s all too well probably have this flashback problem. Strange, bad craziness just suddenly appears in the headlights, right? Mostly it's pretty pathetic. But every now and then, there's a side effect just too precious not to share.

Hallucinate with me on the jump.

From the same New York Times article that Kos posted about today, but just one paragraph up the page:

Some even accuse Mr. Obama of chauvinism, pointing to the time he called Mrs. Clinton "likeable enough" as evidence of dismissiveness. Nancy Wait, 55, a social worker in Columbia City, Ind., said Mr. Obama was far less qualified than Mrs. Clinton and described as condescending his recent assurances that Mrs. Clinton should stay in the race as long as she liked.

I...see. So Ms. Wait: You'd be happier if Obama said "Hilary is America's psycho ex-girlfriend" and "She should exit the race today"? This would make him less dismissive and condescending?

Damned if he does, damned if he doesn't. My mom was right: Hanging out with stoopid people will make you stoopid.

I mean, c'mon already. Rachel Maddow is not only the finest looking gay woman on TV, she makes your "A Team" look dumb as a bag of hammers.

Here's all the Rev Wright Q&A. No doubt you can find better on YouTube:

Part 1
Part 2
Part 3

I've lurked on DKos for years now, without filing a single diary, and commenting on almost nothing. I am an atheist and a white male. I'm a committed Democrat, never voted any other way my whole life. I'm old enough to remember watching the Army/McCarthy hearings on TV when I was a child. I'm college educated, make more than $100K a year, and have been a contributor to Obama's campaign. I read Kos every single day, and most of the rest of an even dozen left blogs. And this campaign is over for me.
