Quote of the day

"...there are crazy people. I don't know who I want to punch more -- the 'birthers' or the '9/11 truthers.'

"The nation has a bunch of crazy people. Some think the government was behind flying planes into the World Trade Center and some think there's some grand conspiracy that somebody raised up Barack Obama as a Manchurian candidate to become President of the United States.

"These people do crazy things and we like to talk about them, and it is at least a reminder that the rest of us are sane."

(Conservative pundit Erick Erickson of RedState.com, reacting to the disruption of yesterday's reading-aloud of the U.S. Constitution on the floor of the House of Representatives. As Rep. Frank Pallone of New Jersey read Clause 5 of Article Two -- "No person except a natural born Citizen, or a Citizen of the United States, at the time of the Adoption of this Constitution, shall be eligible to the Office of President" -- a woman seated in the visitors' gallery shouted, "Except Obama! Except Obama! Help us, Jesus!" Idiot.)
