AZ strikes again! Ridiculous story, but GREAT PIC

[kpete]

The man in charge of running Arizona’s elections has gone to the birthers. Secretary of State Ken Bennett now says he’s not convinced Barack Obama was really born in the United States and so he is threatening to keep the president off the ballot in November.

.........

On Thursday, Bennett said he sent his request to Hawaii officials eight weeks ago but has yet to get the proof he was hoping for. He said he didn’t want another copy of the birth certificate. He wants Hawaii to give him what he described as “a verification in lieu of a certified copy of a birth certificate.”

In the weeks since then, Bennett said, Hawaii officials have forced him to provide proof that he is who he says he is. They asked him to send them copies of the Arizona laws that prove the secretary of state really is the person in charge of handling the ballots. Admittedly, Bennett said they told him they were “tired of all the requests.” But he is continuing anyway.

8. My theory is

that, like Texas, the extreme heat and sun affect the brain functions of the weak-minded.

Just a theory....

[Scuba]

3. Gotta love the response from Hawaii.

[gratuitous]

4. Yep, absolutely spot on

Hawai'i should also insist on seeing the "long form" original of the Arizona law.

[savalez]

15. They should request Bennett's birth certificate too.

Better yet, “a verification in lieu of a certified copy of a birth certificate.”

Whatever the F that is.

16. he was appointed by Jan Brewer

It was a big mistake for Janet Napolitano to resign as governor and hand the state over to republican sociopaths like Jan Brewer, who elevated this scumbag to Sec of State. State government in AZ is infested with Mormons, who bring their racism, homophobia, and misogyny along with their right wing extremism, to defile the beautiful state of Arizona.
When it was found out that Bennett's son had repeatedly raped many young boys with a broomstick, Ken used his political power to protect his son from any legal consequences except for one plea bargained charge of aggravated assault, a mere slap on the wrist. They argued that it would be such a shame to ruin this boy's life to have to pay for his crimes, and it would prevent him from doing his Mormon missionary work.
