    Re: Donald Trump: Should We Take Him Seriously?

    At what point do news orgs start treating Trump like an actual candidate and start emptying their file cabinets? I understand there is a fundraising reason why the real candidates are holding off, wait until May and you can dump all of your first quarter money into the second and not have to sweat the paperwork - but Trump is getting most of the benefits (airtime on news networks), and little real scrutiny. I'm guessing he'll announce he's out once the WashPo or the NYT start asking questions about his casinos, business associates and personal life.

    Just wait till TMZ, Radar Online, and the tabloids start looking through his personal life with a fine tooth comb. Then he'll wilt

    All three of my children were born in Minnesota. One in 1998, one in 2000, one in 2006. For the last two, the only birth certificate we have looks just like the one Hawaii released for Obama. They are official and suffice for everything from enrolling in school, to proving their ages for baseball and hockey. They're all they need. It's all Obama needs. Sheesh. This has to stop.

    And as for the birth announcement ... Trump is talking about how the family had no money to put one in the paper and how the grandparents waited a week before getting it published. ... Seriously, when are newspaper people going to stand up and say, "WE STILL RUN BIRTH ANNOUNCEMENTS JUST LIKE THAT ONE IN 2011! THEY ARE SENT FROM THE HOSPITALS TO THE LOCAL PAPERS AND PUBLISHED DAILY OR WEEKLY OR WHEN SPACE ALLOWS!"

    Well, many papers don't, anymore.

    But the conspiracy sub-theory that in 1961 the evvull mooslim socilist libburrulls looked forward in time 47 years and realized they had to set up all these fake newspaper announcements for the son of a totally obscure son of a Kenyan exchange student so he could become president in 2008 is especially hilarious.

    Keep it up, Trumpo. Keep fuckin that chicken.

    Trump's candidacy will end the day after the final episode of this season of Celebrity Apprentice. It's really that simple.

    The fact Trump doesn't realize newspapers run birth announcements is yet another example of just how out of touch with reality he is.

    Donald would be blown away by grocery store scanners.

    But, I think it's more a matter of being a big city guy.

    Much as all the family apologists would just love us to forget all about that -- and other pertinent details of the most consistently wrongheaded administration of modern times . . .

    Technically, it was GWB's uncle that raised capital for his businesses, recruited clients, and bailed him out.

    . . . and another swinging strike . . . it can take a good, long time to clean up epic messes left by one spoiled brat or another, for others to mop up . . .
    but, then, W's left various messes of varying shapes and sizes, all his privileged life. And whoever follows Obama, and whoever follows him, will still have goodly portions of it left to deal with.

    Thanks for everything.
