Two right wing sites get suckered in by satirical site story on Schwarzenegger and Obama citizenship

First here is the original story on Viral GrapeVine:

Schwarzenegger Has Lawyers on Capital Hill Pushing Obama Citizenship Case Forward

Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger reportedly has lawyers on Capital Hill pushing the Obama citizenship case forward towards a precedent setting change in the Constitution. Unlike right wing Republicans, Schwarzenegger wants Obama to ultimately be victorious in front of the Supreme Court if they should choose to hear a case questioning whether or not Barack Obama can be sworn in even though he may have been technically born in Kenya before being certified as a citizen in Hawaii.

The Gubbernator sees common cause (temporarily) with those that would keep Obama from taking office, hoping that the question of fact in Obama’s birth will be admitted and that he will be allowed to be sworn in anyway.

That would create the legal precedent allowing a person not Natural Born in America to run for President. Arnold Schwarzenegger wants to be that next President and with Palin and Huckabee currently polling in the lead for the Republican nomination, Arnold could knock them out like an extra pointing a gun at him in a cheap action thriller.

So the question is, what exactly are Arnold’s lawyers doing in Washington????So the question is, what exactly are Arnold’s lawyers doing in Washington????

Well, that’s where things get interesting. Apparently, they are seeking out a key witness in the Obama case. There are two issues at play. One is a question of fact, was Obama born in Kenya. The other is a question of Constitutional crisis. Can a person born in Kenya and elected by the electoral college serve as President or will he have to relinquish the job to Joseph Biden.

It would appear that there is only one person that can answer the first question. The Doctor that presided over the birth herself. Dr. Sarah C. Wiggenstein is the person that everyone is searching for. Apparently Dr. Wiggenstein retired from medical practice 6 years ago and moved to the Cayman islands after her husband Ruford Wiggenstein passed away.

Attorneys have been working with Sarah’s only surviving son, John J. C. Wiggenstein to track down the retiree, who apparently has been out of contact with everyone these last 4 years since her move.

John Wiggenstein is a former commando who served in the Special Forces in Somalia in 1993. Its ironic that Arnold Schwarzenegger’s Presidential chances might rely on a real life commando, who was also awarded the Bronze Star for his work helping to rescue Rangers pinned down in Mogadishu.

Possibly even more ironic, John’s grandfather, Gerald Connors, was one of the original judges in the first Mr. Universe pageant in 1948. So it remains to be seen whether or not, Sarah C. Wiggenstein will come forth to testify in this matter or not.

Her son John, and the rest of the world will stand by and wait to see if Barack Obama might have to face off against Arnold in 2012.

Two right wing blogs picked up the story (one from the other apparently) and tried to spin it into their meme on Obama citizenship. Most of the comments show the faithful bought into it completely.

2. It is kind of addicting watching them self destruct

This was a good comment from cjk (not me):

"Okay folks, think about it. This is a story that alleges that Arnold (The Terminator) Schwarzenegger is looking for someone named Sarah, whose maiden name is Connor, and her son is named John.

Are you BC conspiracy nuts really that dumb?
