Barney Frank: Where’s Charles Djou’s birth certificate?
Hotair ^ | 05/26/2010 | Allahpundit

No Hawaiian is above suspicion, my friends.

Tongue firmly in cheek, Rep. Barney Frank (D-Mass.) on Tuesday afternoon called on reporters to demand to see the birth certificate of new Rep. Charles Djou (R-Hawaii).

As Djou (pictured here) was being sworn into office, Frank walked the hallway of the Speaker’s Lobby off the House floor calling on the media to “do your job” and review Djou’s papers.

I’m a Birther critic in good standing but I dig Tom Maguire’s reply to Frank: Djou should authorize Hawaii to release his long-form birth certificate, just to show how quickly and painlessly it can be done. Not in a million years will that happen — there’s no sense in gratuitously antagonizing Obama fans back in his home district, where he’ll have have a tough time getting reelected even under favorable circumstances — but I like the idea of Djou ambushing Frank during some press availability in the Capitol hallway. Just toss him the folder, hold up a finger, and say, “One week.”

Here’s the man himself in action this morning on FNC. He’s up again for election in November, of course, and if he survives that he’ll be facing armageddon with Obama at the top of the ticket in 2012. But there’s reason to Hope for no Change: According to Michael Barone, Hawaii has never voted out a congressional incumbent. Ever.

Where’s the indictment against you for running a prostitution ring in your basement, Bawney? Oh that’s right, you couldn’t have known what was going on beneath your own feet.

He MUST show up with cameras in tow at Barney`s office door with his original long form birth certificate and say,

” Here it is Barney now where is barack`s original birth certificate.”

While we’re at it, do we have Abercombie’s birth certificate?

Rep Djou can show his creds right upfront by responding to Barney, calling a press conference, and showing his official vault copy Hawaiian birth certificate

and asking Barney: “What’s the big deal? Why would anyone pay lawyers two million dollars to avoid doing this?”

Wikipedia simply tells us Djou grew up in Hawaii. It does not tell us where he was born. I know that his parents are Chinese since he has a Chinese name --- Zhōu Yǒngkāng; born August 9, 1970. But the constitution does NOT REQUIRE a congressman to be a natural born citizen, only the President. So, I don't know what Bawney Fwank is really up to.

No, I think Barney's tongue was someplace else, a little farther down, and on the other end of the digestive tract. This is just more evidence that Frank clearly has never read the Constitution because, if he had, he'd know that the requirement that one be a "natural born citizen" applies only to the President, and not to the members of Congress. Stupid liberal (but I repeat myself).

Frank has an inadvertently brilliant idea:

Can you imagine the political statement if Djou releases his long form proper birth certificate?
