Obama Conspiracies Hit the Big Time …

… As a punchline at last night’s Gridiron Dinner in Washington. Mike Allen reports on Vice President Joe Biden’s routine:

You know, I never realized just how much power Dick Cheney had until my first day on the job. I walked into my office, and you know how the outgoing president always leaves the incoming president a note in his desk? I opened my drawer and Dick Cheney had left me Barack Obama’s birth certificate.

It’s good and bad news for the conspiracy theorists. Good: the White House knows that they’re out there. Bad: they think they’re hysterical. And they’re right!
