Rick Santorum: Me and Barack Obama both have birth certificates

By JUANA SUMMERS | 4/26/11 3:37 PM EDT Updated: 4/26/11 3:45 PM EDT

DYERSVILLE, Iowa — Rick Santorum said Tuesday that he and President Barack Obama both have the same proof they were born in the United States, making clear that he won’t play into the widely discredited claims about Obama’s birthplace.


"He has a certificate of birth, which is what, if you ask for the record of birth in Hawaii, that is what they give you," Santorum told more than a dozen Dyersville Republicans when asked about the so-called birther issue at a lunchtime meeting here.

"I've looked at my birth certificate," said Santorum, the former Pennsylvania senator who was born Virginia. "I have a certificate of birth. I have the same thing."

While the question drew laughs from the small group of supporters who sipped coffee and tea as he answered, Santorum said there are bigger issues to focus on.

1. So many so afraid of being Trumped.

May they fight it out dirtier and dirtier among themselves. ;-)

2. Just because the village idiot doesn't believe the earth is flat

doesn't make him a rocket scientist.

3. The fax/email has gone out. Dump the birther bullshit.

4. "small group of supporters"

Maybe there were a good many no-shows because they couldn't bring their dogs in with them.

5. Sorry Republicans, you bought and paid for this nontroversy

It's all yours. For the ellipse (...) below, substitute "birth certificate nontroversy."

"The Thing," written by Charles R. Green, recorded by Phil Harris:

While I was walkin' down the beach
One bright and sunny day
I saw a great big wooden box
A-floatin' in the bay
I pulled it in and opened it up
And much to my surprise
Oh, I discovered a...
Right before my eyes
Oh, I discovered a...
Right before my eyes


I picked it up and ran to town
As happy as a king
I took it to a guy I knew
Who'd buy most anything
But this is what he hollered at me
As I walked in his shop
"Oh, get out of here with that...
Before I call a cop"
"Oh, get out of here with that...
Before I call a cop"


I turned around and got right out
A-runnin' for my life
And then I took it home with me
To give it to my wife
But this is what she hollered at me
As I walked in the door
"Oh, get out of here with that...
And don't come back no more"
"Oh, get out of here with that...
And don't come back no more"





I wandered all around the town
Until I chanced to meet
A hobo who was lookin' for
A handout on the street
He said he'd take most any old thing
He was a desperate man
But when I showed him the...
He turned around and ran
Oh, when I showed him the...
He turned around and ran


I wandered on for many years
A victim of my fate
Until one day I came upon
St Peter at the gate
And when I tried to take it inside
He told me where to go
Get out of here with that...
And take it down below
Oh, get out of here with that...
And take it down below


The moral of this story is
If you're out on the beach
And you should see a great big box
And it's within your reach
Don't ever stop and open it up
That's my advice to you
'Cause you'll never get rid of the...
No matter what you do
Oh, you'll never get rid of the...
No matter what you do

11. Phil Harris used to come on right after Jack Benny and I was allowed

to stay up for it. You can still catch some of these shows on Old Time Radio. Good stuff.

Amazing how quick they all get in line when the call from on top is made. The question now is...does Trump up the ante?

Did I miss something?
