Brilliant Piece Of Legislation Puts Birther-Loving Congressmen (BACHMANN BACHMANN BACHMANN) On The Spot

Amazing things have happened in the House this afternoon; go read all of what Sam Stein wrote, here, he's good at these things. Briefly, though: Rep. Neil Abercrombie of Hawaii -- former buddy of Barack Obama Senior! -- introduced a resolution "Recognizing and celebrating the 50th Anniversary of the entry of Hawaii into the Union as the 50th State," which now includes the line, "Whereas the 44th President of the United States, Barack Obama, was born in Hawaii..." SO WHAT'S IT GONNA BE, GOP congressmen with insane constituents?? Apparently they need some time to think about this standard symbolic resolution, because Michele Bachmann blocked the quick and easy passage of it on the floor this afternoon. Why would she do that?
