Rep. Schmidt whispers "I agree with you" to birther

Rep. Jean Schmidt (R-Ohio) may be the worst stage whisperer in recent American political history.
At a Labor Day tea party event in Cincinnati, Schmidt was approached by a slightly unhinged constituent who wanted to know why she wans't demanding to see President Obama's birth certificate. ThinkProgress happened to have a tracker hovering nearby, who recorded the exchange, which captures the wink-wink game some GOP pols are playing with the birther fringe.
"You can't be a president..." the woman shouts as a Schmidt supporter tries to get in between the camera guy and the participants.
Schmidt them tries to get her attention by saying "M'aam, m'aam."
When the woman stops talking, Schmidt leans into her ear and whispers -- loudly enough to be picked up by the mike: "I agree with you, but the courts don't."
Schmidt is referring to a string of recent court decisions throwing out birther lawsuits.

Another example of the GOP women having more balls than the men.

Another example of the GOP women having more balls than the men. Agreed. But she should have come right out and said it.

The left doesn’t call her “Mean Jean” for nothing.
She is the one that told Murtha, “cowards run, Marines don’t”, which caused Derek Jeter (aka Harold Ford, Jr.) to sprint across the aisle looking to punch someone.
And that was when she was quite new to congress. Sadly, the GOP weenies huddled around her and suggested that she retract those comments.
To: Bloody Sam Roberts
She will get plenty of opportunity to defend her comment.

Don’t apologize. Don’t ever apologize to the Left.

She will get plenty of opportunity to defend her comment. If I were her, I wouldn't defend it. I'd simply say, "Yeah, I said it. Ooops...ya got me. Next question."

I would defend it. Why not? Obama is going to as popular as pop sickles in Siberia in 2010.

Schmidt probably gained about 3% more votes with that!

If she believes Obama was born in Kenya, she should have objected when the House confirmed the vote of the Electoral College.
Or she could file a Bill in the House questioning Obama’s status as a NBC.

I think she has cosponsored Posey’s bill requiring original BCs from presidential candidates.

I'd prefer that she got replaced by a sane Republican.

Such insanity to believe Obama is a marxist lying sack of ****, ain’t it?

Are you so incurious that you don’t want to know what Hussein’s hiding?

Did she vote Against the Res. to recognize Hawaii as Obama’s birthplace?

I’m constantly amazed at the lengths people will go to in order to pretend there is no mystery surrounding Hussein’s origins and eligibility. It borders on delusional.
Stay out of the way and let the ones working on the problem chase down the leads.
