In a preemptive strike to avoid the same controversy that dogged President Obama, Louisiana Governor Piyush "Bobby" Jindal released his birth certificate.
After countless birthers, including Donald Trump, ridiculed Mr. Obama's document as a "Certificate of Live Birth" instead of a "Birth Certificate," will anyone on the right notice that Jindal's has the identical title?
Note to birthers: Jindal was conceived in India
Also noted in the release is the fact that the future Governor was conceived in India. I'm sure that had President Obama been conceived in a foreign country, the birthers would have made that into a huge issue.
Also, neither of Jindal's parents were United States citizens at the time of his birth, which was another talking point against President Obama's legitimacy.
Who will be the first birther to announce that Piyush "Bobby" Jindal is constitutionally ineligible to serve as Vice President or President of the United States?
I won't hold my breath.

This should be really interesting.
#1. He's a Republican, and, therefore, by default, is an automatic American Citizen.
#2. Thank God he released it. I was so terrified that he might not be a citizen, but then #1 takes care of that, right?
Suppose that the war records of Kerry and Bush the Lesser (thanks Tom C) had been reversed. Would the Repubs have tried to swiftboat their own guy? Or might they have gone after the one pulled some strings to get a cushy and possibly incomplete deferment gig? Just asking.
