Karl Rove and I agree...

...on something: the White House doesn't mind all this talk of the president's birth certificate. We just disagree on why:

Rove said he thinks that the Obama administration relishes the continued existence of the birther movement because it distracts from how the president is handling policy issues. “Look, these guys may be lousy at governing … but they’re damn good at politics,” he said. “It fits into the White House theme line.”

I think the White House is quiet about the birther movement because it makes their opponents look nuts.

(By the way, that's Delaware Congressman Mike Castle in the video above. You remember him; he's the guy who got beat in the Republican primary last year by a witch, Christine O'Donnell.)
