(Newser) – Orly Taitz has so many YouTube-friendly elements going for her: She’s the leader of a fringe movement, she has the bizarre career combo of dentist/lawyer—oh, and she’s “insane” and went “berserk” on MSNBC earlier this week while discussing the birther movement, writes the Cajun Boy for Gawker. So it was only a matter of time before the remixes of said interview started appearing—check out Gawker’s favorite at left.

Viral Video Says: Diss Iowa at Your Own Peril

Scott Siepker, Paul Benedict school us on Iowa

Atheists, rabbis, National Lampoon ridicule 'Strong' spot

GOP Staffers Meet With 'Birther Queen'

Orly Taitz says top aides receptive to her concerns

(NEWSER) - Even a birth certificate can’t stop the Birther Queen. Orly Taitz, who literally made a name for herself in the heyday of Birtherism, is still pushing her message—and it seems that top GOP congressional aides are listening. She tells Justin Elliott of Salon that she headed to Washington to meet with staffers for Reps. Steve King and Allen West, and Sens. Jim Inhofe and Marco Rubio.
