This week’s edition of Political Humor Quick Hits is about Republican Moonbats, Tim Geithner, and teen strippers …

There Are Moonbats on the Right Too

So has Ron Paul’s whacko fan base become bored with the whole Truther thing? Obama’s birth certificate is the issue that will not go away thanks to the crazies on the right:

In an attempt to quash persistent rumors that President Obama was not born in Honolulu on Aug. 4, 1961, Hawaii’s health director reiterated this afternoon that she has personally seen Obama’s birth certificate in the Health Department’s archives.

The Birther people are obviously nuttier than a fruitcake. They have to be insane to push for something that would result in Joe Biden becoming President.

Joe Biden!

He would make a great commander-in-chief of course because he is the smartest guy in the room. Just ask him. And the Birthers too.

Treasury Secretary Doth Bringeth the Smackdown

Tim Geithner met with Chinese officials to put any doubts to rest that the US government is still solvent:

Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner pledged to rein in the U.S. deficit as China underscored concern about preserving the value of its $801.5 billion of Treasury holdings.

The U.S. will ensure a “sustainable” deficit by 2013, Geithner said at the beginning of the first round of Strategic and Economic Dialogue talks under President Barack Obama in Washington.

RL Political Humor Quick Hits has obtained an exclusive copy of the transcript of his speech:

Tim: “We will rein in the deficit.”

Snickers and laughter from the Chinese officials

Tim: “No really, we will ensure sustainable deficits in the next four years.”

More snickering and laughter

Tim: “Come on I’m serious!”

Even more snickering and laughter

Tim: “Okay fine. You want to dance? Okay let’s dance! I’ll just keep printing more money.”

With that said, according to the transcript, Geithner abruptly left the meeting and told the Treasury to “fire up the printing presses”.

You go Geithner!

Underage Strippers in Rhode Island Do Not Break Labor Laws

From the “Do anything to boost teen employment” department:

Rhode Island teens under 18 can’t work with power saws or bang nails up on roofs.

But dance at strip clubs? Sure. Just as long as the teens submit work permits, and are off the stripper’s pole by 11:30 on school nights.

I think this is a great idea. There are a lot of teen girls who never got the attention of their fathers growing up. When daddy missed every one of your dance recitals, the best way to try and restore that self-esteem is to embark on a career in stripping.

On a side note Rhode Island also passed a law whereby the “I thought she was eighteen” excuse is a legitimate defense for hooking up with an underage stripper.
