The birthers and their dazzlingly incompetent 'attorney', the well-known dentist Orly Taitz, Esq, have been utterly discredited in Judge Carter's disposition of their so-called 'case' today.

Like every other birther attack on our system, this too has failed.

Their documents are forgeries. Their claims are false. Their standing is non-existent. Their remedies are unconstitutional. Their lies are endless. And their hysteria?

Immaculate. It cannot be touched by reason or fact.

Next? Orly Taitz will be disbarred.

Couldn't happen to a nicer nitwit.

Saddam was a wicked dictator who used gas on the Kurds, and on the Iranians. Problem: we supported him in that war. Perhaps you have forgotten this.

Saddam was a wicked murderer who used assassination as a tool of his corrupt and nepotistic regime. Problem: we supplied many of his armaments, and much of his regime's training. Perhaps you have forgotten this.

Question: where are the WMDs? We've been in control for many years, and have found none.

Where are the chemical weapons Mr Cheney knew about? The nuclear weapons Dr Rice talked about? These too have disappeared.

It turns out that UN sanctions worked, my friend.

They worked well. Saddam lost the capacity (but surely not the will) to acquire those weapons. Regardless of the lies told by Rumsfeld, Cheney and Bush, they have never been found. Do you know where they are?

As an American, I know that Saddam's miserable life was not worth 2000 American lives -- but that's the price Mr Bush required our children to pay. Shame on him.

The war you support was founded on lies, half-truths, and gross mis-reading of a despot we once supported. The war you support destroyed the presidency of Mr Bush, and rightly so. He dishonored us.

It remains odd to see Republicans excuse their failures by blaming Democrats for sharing them.

Hi Smiley: I'd be glad to reply, but what you 'wrote' makes no sense.

It is impossible to penetrate your bad grammar, incompetent spelling, childish syntax, run-on sentences, and general gibberish. You make George Bush sound literate, and that's hard to do.

Please come back when you have learned English. It is the language of America, and American values. Perhaps you have heard of this?

Perhaps not.

Hey Cajun Red:

See what your pal Orso said: "As an American, I am totally fed up with this award being used to push a BS socialist agenda. I am embarrassed that is inept half-breed is president of my great country..."

"Half-breed"? Surely even you know that these are the views of a moron.

Irrational bigots try to poison American democracy. Race-hate of Orso's type has no place in our great country.

If you don't know this, you've got a problem too. You and your kind lost the Civil War 150 years ago, and the civil rights war 50 years ago. Have you been asleep all this time? Apparently so.

"Inept half-breed"? Wow.

Your white sheets are showing. Your cross is burning in your back yard. What country are you really from? North Korea? Your racism makes it clear that you are profoundly, inexcusably anti-American.

Your bigotry exposes your contempt for America, our values, and our principles. Go back to North Korea, and take your vile prejudices with you.

Ms Prejean has today destroyed her own reputation. This is of a pattern, you see. Most Americans resent the holier-than-thou preenings of the 'Family Values' crowd, and take understandable pleasure when they are found out to be, shall we say, insincere. The brilliant German expression is 'schadenfreude'.

Live by phony moralizing? Die by phony moralizing.

That's how it works in our country. Perhaps you hadn't noticed. Larry Craig, Mark Foley, David Vitter, Helen Chenowyth and Mark Sanford certainly noticed.

It is a standard clause regarding moral turpitude. She signed it. Everyone signs it. This is standard practice in the entertainment industry.

No, Des, but it is a sin to be a hypocrite.

Ms Prejean has become a national figure of hooting and laughter -- not because of what she does in private, but because of what she pretends in public.

I'm sure you understand the difference. No?

Hello Miss Moderator!

What's the matter with you people? You've had more than an hour to correct a fundamental error of fact. Judging by your frightened refusal to post the correction, there must be something wrong with your commitment to scholarship, to accuracy, to simply getting it right.

Four years means nothing? By your theory, Mr Bush is still President.

I understand that you don't want to embarrass your blogger. Fair enough. Just correct her mistake, and you will have done the right thing for her, for accuracy, and for your reputation.

Dear Pam: Please get your facts straight.

Mr Weinstein and his brother founded Miramax, named for their parents, in 1979. They sold it to Disney FOUR YEARS AGO. Today, they run The Weinstein Company, and still make films.

If you can't be bothered to do your homework, why should we believe anything you tell us? Your misinformation is FOUR YEARS out of date.

Knock Hollywood all you like. I for one don't care.

But please get your facts right, or some might think you don't know what you're talking about.
