Not wandering into birtherism is a point in Rush’s FAVOR, as far as I’m concerned.
And whatever my issues with Rush are, it’s only one-tenth of my issues with with Savage.
There’s no question that the “birth certificate” is a crude forgery. Setting aside all the digital artifacts of forgery, there’s the fact that the typefaces of, IIRC, six different typewriters appear on it. (Maybe it’s eight typewriters.) This means that a nurse or clerk at the hospital would have had to type various words or individual letters, running from typewriter to typewriter—all of different makes. If you think the “birth certificate” is an image of an actual paper form, filled out in 1961, then you have to believe in the trotting nurse or clerk, dashing from typewriter to typewriter.
