Birther, schmirther: Adam Kwasman gets it right

Amidst all of the hubbub regarding Barack Obama’s actual place of birth, search for an authentic birth certificate and hurling of words — made up and otherwise — such as birther and embarrassment, comes a great one-liner.

Adam Kwasman, a Republican legislative candidate was asked to weigh in on the issue of Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio’s probe intended to verify Obama’s birth place. This was his response:

Kwasman said Arpaio will “find the President was born in Soviet Russia, because that’s where his policies come from.”

We can’t wait for Kwasman to slice through the rhetoric when he takes the LD 11 House seat in the Arizona State Legislature. With his pithy wit, he’ll be a welcome addition.

Check out this district map.  You may be fortunate enough to have him represent you in the upcoming session.

Nobody wants Obama

— or his old wheels

A 2005 Chrysler 300C said to be the one Barack Obama drove before becoming president failed to sell in an eBay auction that ended late last night. The minimum bid, in the typical grandiose fashion befitting the high living former owner, was $1 million.

The car drew no bids.

The WSJ has the full report.

Hi Jan. This is Marilyn

Rumor has it that Marilyn Quayle, mother of Congressman Ben and wife of former Vice President Dan, rang up Gov. Jan Brewer recently to chat about the newly drawn congressional lines.

Truth or fiction? From the report filed by Fox 10’s Steve Krafft, it sounds like a bit of overactive imagination on the part of those usually sluggish Dems.

Those impish little gnomes! How amusing that they are still pulling pranks the week after Halloween.

Adams building name ID…for Gray

  

This photo, featuring an 8-foot wide Chuck Gray for Congress banner, was spotted in a highly produced but poorly edited campaign video for Kirk Adams. The event was the well-attended annual Constitution Fair in Gilbert, AZ.

Adams and Gray are both within the boundaries of the most recent version of the East Valley Congressional District, now called AZ- 05.

How’d The Onion find Trent Franks?

An iconoclastically satirical website called The Onion runs this spoof on Arizona’s Second Congressional District Rep. Trent Franks.

Franks‘ own site is topped with this quote from essayist and transcendentalist, Henry David Thoreau: “Rather than love, than money, than fame, give me truth.”

The Onion, not to be outdone, has a droll disclaimer at the bottom of its homepage, declaring it is “not intended for readers under 18 years of age.”

Jerry Lewis bows out!

The news looked too good to be true. Then the Tucson dateline gave us pause. Finally it became all too clear that it isn’t that zany comic but this other one.

But while we’re on the topic, do consider giving this good man a hand. He needs our support now, more than ever.

Yet another reason to appreciate Sheriff Joe Arpaio

Reason # 257: He’s got a great sense of humor

The Periódico de la República de Arizona (Arizona Republic) looks for any reason to write scathing articles on Maricopa County’s popular Sheriff Joe Arpaio. Not known for reserve, relentless harping  is the newspaper’s claim to fame.

They are now unhappy with the Maricopa County Sheriff’s Office’s new online contest Mugshot of the Day! Those so inclined can vote for their favorite among the most recent intake mug shots.

Mental health advocates, ginned up by the newspaper, are up in arms over the site. They declare it’s unfair to those inmates they deem mentally incompetent due to drug or alcohol use or who  “admit to having been diagnosed with a mental illness at some point in their lives.”

“We’re not making fun of people with mental illness,” Arpaio counters. “The photos are there anyway. What difference does it make if you ask them which one they like? They don’t know the history of the person.”

And in typical Arpaio fashion, the sheriff pondered the ethical distinctions between a newspaper running his photo and his office calling attention to inmates in his custody. “You talk about me making people look bad. I want to know why the editorial board uses the worst picture they can find on me? You guys do the same thing that you’re accusing me of doing,” Arpaio said. “Did you check to see if I have a mental problem?”

Not only is he a consummate lawman with an unparalleled career, Sheriff Joe Arpaio possesses a rare wit and sense of humor that belie his tough guy image. No wonder he has been reelected to an unprecedented five 4-year terms.

“I don’t care, Obama is awesome”

A bit of entertainment for those of you who are unable to attend the Maricopa County Republican Lincoln Day Luncheon today.

This video will provide a glimpse into the garbled thinking of the Democrat mind.

Sen. Goddard? Democrats must be hitting the weed early

When they say liberalism is a mental disorder, the proof is in the rumor that is circulating in Democrat circles.  And “medical” marijuana hasn’t even gone into effect yet.

Terry Goddard, the Democrat’s perennially losing candidate for governor, is now being talked up as a challenger to Sen. Jon Kyl.

It’s a laugh inducer, considering Samuel Pearson “Terry” Goddard, III, just lost at his third attempt to follow in his one-term governor father’s footsteps. Gov. Jan Brewer soundly sacked him with a 938,934 to 733,935 vote total just last month.

While Seeing Red AZ is not enthralled with Sen. Kyl’s disregard for his own party’s grassroots activists, we find this rumor more than amusing.

Local Democrat operative masquerades as a journalist

Given the fact that Americans have grown weary of the liberal status quo and the political winds are blowing in a decidedly Republican direction, Linda Valdez, the newspaper’s resident leftist zealot has obviously gone off the deep end.  Today, in her quick hit, she opines that the Tea Party strong brew is going stale.

Here’s Linda giving up all pretense of both rationality and objectivity:

Tea is best when freshly brewed, but the “tea party” folks have been offering the same old cuppa for some time. With Obama back on the campaign trail, Dems can hope he rekindles some of that excitement from two years ago in time for the election. It’s a long shot, I know. But the key is peaking at the right time. The GOP is looking a bit stale.

Stale?  With a renewed vigor and rush in all polls, that is not even close to a reasonable assessment.  But, then again, it is Valdez at her nadir point, facing what to her is an intolerable GOP resurgence.
