What Sheen Would Do If Elected President

Make Nicolas Cage his VP, for one

(Newser) – Charlie Sheen may have alienated his "truther" fans, but it looks like he'll be able to replace them with birthers. Politics was on the agenda when Sheen's "Violent Torpedo of Truth" tour hit Washington, DC, Tuesday night and the actor got plenty of cheers when he raised the birth certificate issue, reports the Washington Post. "For starters, I was f**king born here, how about that? And I got proof!" Sheen said. "Nothing Photoshopped about my birth certificate."

Sheen—observing that a poll shows him beating "that lunatic from Alaska" Sarah Palin—discussed the possibility of a presidential bid, with Nicolas Cage as his running mate, Politico reports. President Sheen would legalize pot, "send the IRS to prison," and deal with Moammar Gadhafi by sending ex-wife Denise Richards and soon-to-be-ex-wife Brooke Mueller to Libya. "If I run for president and win, country music is illegal," Sheen told the crowd.

I vote Sheen for President. He couldn't make a bigger mess of things that the last 10 presidents. The USA is the joke of the world.

Sorry, Charlie, only the best Sheens are good enough to be president. Martin Sheen was a great TV president, good enough that many people would be willing to vote him in for real. I doubt that's the case with his prodigal son.

Sheriff Joe: Obama Birth Certificate Probably Fake

Selective service card looks dodgy, too, says Arizonan

(NEWSER) - Birtherism appears to be alive and well in Maricopa County, Arizona, where self-styled "America's Toughest Sheriff" Joe Arpaio has released the results of his investigation into President Obama's birth certificate , reports ABC . The probe found "probable cause exists indicating that forgery and fraud may have been committed" with the President's long-form birth certificate, and "more disturbing evidence suggests that another fraud may have been committed regarding his selected service registration card," Arpaio told reporters.

(NEWSER) - Not surprisingly, President Obama's half-sister Maya Soetero-Ng is firmly in her brother's corner when it comes to the birther rumors.

Puerto Rico-born Rep. Raul Labrador: 'I have a birth certificate'

(NEWSER) - Next stop on the comedy circuit, CPAC? Rep. Raul Labrador, who was born in Puerto Rico, drew guffaws and applause after whipping out a birther joke during his address yesterday, saying he was "an American citizen by birth, and I have the birth certificate to prove it." But the freshman lawmaker's jokes weren’t all of the conspiracy-theory nature: Labrador also made fun of John Boehner's remarkably tan skin, notes the Huffington Post . The party is made up of "three shades," Labrador said, and Boehner’s skin is the "fourth." (Click to read what Donald Trump said at CPAC .) More»

Hawaii May Sell Obama's Birth Records for $100

There's gold in them thar birthers, state lawmakers say

(NEWSER) - Enterprising Hawaii lawmakers say they've found a way to silence "birthers" while filling state coffers. Democratic state lawmakers have introduced a bill that would allow anybody to obtain President Obama's birth records for a fee of $100, AP reports. The bill would require changing a privacy law that bars the release of birth records to anybody without a tangible interest, like a close family member. More»

(NEWSER) - Another piece of kindling for the birthers' fire: Hawaii Governor Neil Abercrombie allegedly told one of his friends "there is no Barack Obama birth certificate in Hawaii." And that friend just so happens to be celebrity journalist Mike Evans, who shared the story with a KQRS morning radio show, Mediaite reports. Evans went on to describe Abercrombie's words to him: "he searched everywhere using his power as governor" and there is "absolutely no proof at all that [Obama] was born in Hawaii." More»
