Who, I Ask

are the politicos pimping for to change the "natural born citizen" president clause? Orin Hatch started this I believe, and I've read Ahnuld himself is behind it. Democratic representative Vic Snyder (AR) has proposed a similar measure (but when did anything decent come out of Arkansas). Everything I've read that seeks to justify repealing the law concludes that we're shutting out a lot of talent. Guffaw, guffaw, guffaw. As if we don't have more than enough "natural born citizen" hogs at the trough we need to open the door for imports. As if we're so short on natural born American talent we need to outsource the president's job too. (That might be...nevermind.) Recent non natural born talents have included Kissinger and Albright. Negroponte and other foreign born Bush appointments. All this talent not allowed to sit in the president's chair, tsk tsk tsk.

Of course it's not Arnold S. who would run for president; he's the bait. He's the celebrity musclehead who will draw in Bubba Budweisers to think it's a plain talking "good idear, yuk yuk, yea the terminator." While Hatch and Synder give the pseudointellects the same talking points in better English with bits of legalese.

Who's really waiting in the wings to be our first foreign born president? Why do I see a leettle man vith a leettle mustache vocalizing "fire" more often than Pete Seger or Bush's 2nd inaugural address.
