Governor Babblecrombie does it again: Open mouth, insert birther

by Andrew Walden

Gov Abercrombie yesterday re-opened his mouth and spoke of his Holy Crusade against the Diabolical Birthers.  And lo and behold, the birthers are thrilled at the support they are receiving from Washington Place.  Here’s how Babblecrombie stirred them up…again, from the Star-Advertiser:

Obama's birth certificate. How is that coming?

A: I got a letter from someone the other day who was genuinely concerned about it; it is not all just political agenda. They were talking on Olelo last night about this; it has a political implication for 2012 that we simply cannot have.

(Abercrombie said there is a recording of the birth in the State Archives and he wants to use that.)

It was actually written I am told, this is what our investigation is showing, it actually exists in the archives, written down ...

...What I can do, and all I have ever said, is that I am going to see to it as governor that I can verify to anyone who is honest about it that this is the case.

If there is a political agenda then there is nothing I can do about that, nor can the president.

Just so you can see how it is supposed to be done, here is how the professionals of the Lingle administration kept Obama’s birther allies (Yes, the birthers are Obama’s allies.  They divert his opponents.) in check for two years with one October 31, 2008 statement by Director of Health, Dr. Chiyome Fukino:

"There have been numerous requests for Sen. Barack Hussein Obama's official birth certificate.  State law (Hawai‘i Revised Statutes §338-18) prohibits the release of a certified birth certificate to persons who do not have a tangible interest in the vital record. 

"Therefore, I as Director of Health for the State of Hawai‘i, along with the Registrar of Vital Statistics who has statutory authority to oversee and maintain these type of vital records, have personally seen and verified that the Hawai‘i State Department of Health has Sen. Obama's original birth certificate on record in accordance with state policies and procedures.

"No state official, including Governor Linda Lingle, has ever instructed that this vital record be handled in a manner different from any other vital record in the possession of the State of Hawai‘i.”

Inspired by Abercrombie’s babble, WND (aka Birther Central) enthuses: Hawaii governor can't find Obama birth certificate

Hawaii Gov. Neil Abercrombie suggested in an interview published today that a long-form, hospital-generated birth certificate for Barack Obama may not exist within the vital records maintained by the Hawaii Department of Health.

Abercrombie told the Honolulu Star Advertiser he was searching within the Hawaii Department of Health to find definitive vital records that would prove Obama was born in Hawaii, because the continuing eligibility controversy could hurt the president's chances of re-election in 2012.

And here’s the rest:
