Steve Benen gives us a peek into the tortured existence of Rep. Bill Posey (R-Fla.), the man who wrote legislation demanding proof of American citizenship from presidential candidates and was promptly mocked as a fool.
“I expected there would be some civil debate about it, but it wasn’t civil,” Posey said. “Just a bunch of name-calling and personal denigration. … There is no reason to say that I’m the illegitimate grandson of an alligator.”
Perhaps it’s unfair for Stephen Colbert to suggest that Posey’s grandmother “fell in love” with an alligator and “the swamp rang with her screams of ecstasy.” That’s a wild accusation based on hearsay and contradicted by the facts that we know. So by Posey’s own standards about Presidential Obama, he needs to introduce an Alligator-Human Rights Bill or stop whining.

Thank you very much, Mr. Steven Colbert, for adding an interesting question about the family tree alligator-human possible background of Representative Bill Posey (R-FL). Daily Kos was kind enough to host a discussion section on this topic… REpubliCAN'TS are always good for a few laughs, ever since their Dick-Tater El Supremo Bush left the White House in late Janauary. The GOPers just love to goose-step, but they just haven't been able to get behind Bush's replacement just yet…

If the alligator hugger would simply submit to a simple DNA test then these rumors would be rendered moot. One wonders why he just doesn't have the test done and prove the rumors wrong. What does he have to hide?
