AZ Republic article (PHX main Paper) lampoons the AZ Birthers

http://www.azcentral.com/members/Blog/LaurieRoberts/162827

Come on, Arizona, let's crack this birther coconut!
Birthers rejoice!

For years, you have wandered in the wilderness, searching in vain for that ever-elusive evidence and the credibility that comes with actual elected officials willing to take up your quest for “truth”.

Finally you have reached the promised land: Arizona, where these days lunacy is law.

Oh, who am I kidding? We’ve long been the land of crackpottery and conspiracy.

Remember, Gov. Ev Mecham and his efforts to ward off laser beams from the eavesdropping attorney general and the newspaper? Remember the alien flyby exposed by the Phoenix Lights?

Remember when the TV weather guys went all Middle Eastern on us and starting using the word “haboob”?

We in Arizona are nothing if not one giant teeming conspiracy theory.



She ends the article with a shot at Jan Brewer along with "Book em Jan-O"

They have an old ex-Marine who must not be up yet. Out of control racist, Sheriff Joe supporter who really cranks up the crazy.

as marines "do more before 8:00a.m., than most people do all day."

But he's probably at the VA getting his government sponsored healthcare; or down at the DAV, re-living his glory days.

I was going to say he probably at an appointment at the VA complaining about Gov't intrusions into healthcare.

The North of the State is more wing-nutty than the South.
