        She doesn't have one, she's a failed clone of Zsa Zsa Gabor.

      A perfect poster girl for the Birther movement. Maybe they can start their own Party.

      Since they mentioned the soldier who refused to deploy, I have to ponder; what would the reaction have been from the Troglodytes if a soldier had refused to go to Iraq because he thought G.W. had stolen the 2000 election?

        His case was laughed out of court a couple of weeks ago.

        The really funny (and pethetically sad) thing about that is that they not only would have mercilessly braded him a traitor, and the viciously smeared all liberals and democrats for hating their country, but they would not recognize their glaring hypocrisy, the almost comical double-standard, or there complete and utter lack of principles in doing so!

          Further, they would screech that libruls are infiltrating the ranks and supplying evil, radical far left propaganda to our soldiers causing they to drop to the floor in the fetal position. Hypocritical scum.

      If I were seeing this without any background, I'd think she was a Tina Fey type actress making fun of the Nutbags.

      Hmm, thats the first I had heard of any S.S.# issue.

      nerzog, we are still using the same electoral college system that put the 6oz. Bush in Office. Our Presidents have never been chosen by popular vote. Much like how a person elected by a simple majority of anything in one country doesn't actually become the "leader of the free world".

      Something is indeed very askew in our system, but it has more to do with the fact that the POTUS, and indeed the federal government in general, was never by any stretch intended to have nearly as much impact on or Authority over the day-to-day lives of the citizenry as is the case now. Another example of a wrong being forced into the necessary balance of a dynamic system, instead of a wrong being set right.

      Barack Obama is a Connecticut Vampire. Priceless.

      I've never seen someone so unhinged and delusional. She doesn't even try to sound reasonable. Or is it she doesn't know how totally insane she sounds? Either way, keep talking.

      Does she even realize that she's being mocked, or is she one of those people that believes Colbert actually is conservative? Truly, she has a dizzying intellect.

      Proving that, once again, comedy doesn't just make us laugh but; can make us think as well.

      OK I will have to qualify that. Comedy will make some people think. Those that don't have a functioning brain don't have a chance.

      I think Dr. Taitz is a Russian agent sent to bring down the US government, yes that it operation chaos. These people are so funny and don't think they know it.

      I'll have to watch this when I get home. I love it when Colbert brings on someone who is insane and absolutely sincere about it.
