T-Paw, Whitman (and birther) speak at weekend conference

This weekend, The Western Conservative Political Action Conference is hosting some strange bed-fellows in lovely Newport Beach.

In addition to prominent, mainstream speakers like Tim Pawlenty, Steve Poizner, Meg Whitman, and Chuck DeVore, you can add a birther to the speaking schedule. And not just any other birther.

Gary Kreep is president of the U.S. Justice foundation and a "birther attorney", who's filed a federal lawsuit on the matter.

From a personal point of view, rolling around with different bed-fellows in this type of conference is harmless, vibrant, and frankly, fun.

From a political point of view, it's pretty dumb, especially since the conference's chair, Jim Lacy, says he's starting to wonder if the birthers have a legitimate point.

Lacy admits he initially thought those who challenged Obama's citizenship were "nutty," but the more he hears the more he wonders.
