Bill Posey is the illegitimate grandson of an alligator
Poor Bill Posey. He’s a freshman in Congress and boy things sure can be tough up there in the big leagues. In a profile by the Orlando Sentinel that reads like it was written by a 6th grader we learn about the suffering Rep. Posey has gone through just because he introduced a bill that would require Presidential candidates to submit a birth certificate before running. Rep. Posey, wide-eyed innocent that he is, insists that his bill had nothing, nothing at all, to do with the crazy right wing belief that President Obama isn’t really an American citizen. Right.
The reaction Rep. Posey got to his bill was not the standing ovation he anticipated:
“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.”
I believe Rep. Posey is referring to this segment from The Colbert Report:

Seems fair to me, not sure what Posey’s problem is. And before you think Rep. Posey is one of a kind , Rep. Spencer Bachus (R-Ala.) is telling people he knows there are socialists in Congress. 17 of them to be exact. No really.
