A new conspiracy theory: Is Romney a unicorn?





By Dana Milbank, Tuesday, May 29, 2:41 PM

The time has come for Mitt Romney to prove it once and for all: Is he or is he not a unicorn?

Let me stipulate that I have no proof that Romney is a unicorn, and indeed I want to believe that he is not. But I have not seen proof of this because he has not released the original copy of his long-form birth certificate.
.

There are many others who feel as I do — 18,000 people to be precise. I first began to consider the possibility that Romney might be a unicorn when I heard that LeftAction, an online petition operation created by Democratic PR guy John Hlinko, was campaigning to get the Arizona secretary of state to certify that the presumptive Republican nominee is not a mythical beast before allowing his name to be on the presidential ballot.

“There has never been a conclusive DNA test proving that Mitt Romney is not a unicorn,” the group wrote last week. “And if Mitt Romney is or may be a unicorn, he is not Constitutionally qualified to be president.”

A unicorn stole my weed, shot my dog, pooped on my Bible and reprogrammed my radio station presets. Romney never did any of those things to anyone.

Whatever do you mean, Mr. Milbank? This is a Very Serious Issue, and needs to be discussed at length on all the talking chucklehead shows! We need at the very least equal time devoted to this Vital Issue of the Utmost Importance to the American People, complete with endless hours of sage commentary, informed speculation and the latest in analytical tools brought to bear to establish once and for all (or, if we get bored, we'll bring it up again in August, September and October) whether of not Mitt Romney is a unicorn.

Come on, liberal media! Where's your journalistic nose for the big news story?

Feed him beans and wait. We'll find out for sure. It's a definitive test.
