Which Of These Things Is Not Like The Others?

"It's My Honor And Privilege To Endorse Mitt Romney"

"Charles Krauthammer Is A Sad Fool."

"I Am Very Proud of Myself."

"...because I have accomplished something that nobody else has been able to accomplish."

"I'll Be Revealing Some Interesting Things..."

The Donald wants to know why people keep asking him about the birth certificate issue and not OPEC or jobs.

Really Donald?

If you don't want people at CNN (or Fox, MSNBC and elsewhere) to ask you about the birther issue, maybe you should just admit that you've hopped on that bandwagon simply to be edgy.

If you came out of the proverbial gate talking about fiscal policy and job creation, media outlets might want to interview you. But, by talking about a fringe issue that makes Orly Taitz warm, you are participating in a freak show that will get you nothing but freakshow supporters (I'm looking at you Joseph Farah).

Like the snarky anchors on CNN said, as soon as you drop the birther routine, people will stop asking you questions about it Donald.

"Of All Of The Republicans, I'm The Strongest On Defense"

It's a long and wide-ranging interview -- but at least they don't dwell on the birther issue.

"People Love The Birther Issue"

Really Donald? DO THEY?

Yeah, I don't think so. Maybe once you add the qualifier "especially in the Republican Party" -- but I am highly skeptical of the truth in even that.

People want to be talking about real issues like the deficit, the multiple military campaigns that are being waged around the globe, health care, et al.

Nobody who is serious about politics is bringing up the birth certificate issue -- except you.
