In summer 2008, the Obama campaign released a copy of the document you get when you ask the vital records people for a birth certificate. It shows he was born in Hawaii, where officials have repeatedly confirmed his citizenship.
But the birthers insist that the really important document is the double-super-secret birth certificate locked away in some basement. You don’t have to be a detective to figure out what happens when another document gets released. Or another, or the one after that.
Sen. Vitter has admitted to an indiscretion with a Washington call girl service. We’d all like our political leaders to be above such things, but recent events show that philandering is all too common. The senator has been lambasted for keeping an aide on his payroll after the aide was accused of cutting an ex-girlfriend during an argument. Maybe Vitter made a bad call, and maybe he was being loyal.
