The press excoriated and eviscerated Joe the Plumber, a not-so-subtle hint to any peons contemplating an encore.
I’d have no problem asking him....could care less what the press says about me. I wouldn’t parade around GMA etc doing morning news/variety shows that is for sure...I’d simply ask him why he is even “defending” himself in this case and not just release the birth certificate to the curious citizen who’s using the courts to tell us where and when he was born...you know..officially.
An “innocent” respondent would produce a document that clears them...and they’d re-issue one if there was “ANY” doubt the one floating around the country wasn’t legitimate.
A “guilty” respondent would fight the motions to produce a document that would clear them....
so it just looks...well ...like something is out there.
