Birthers reemerge and are challenging Marco Rubio

Orly Taitz and her band of crazies are now challenging the citizenship of the GOP's golden boy, Marco Rubio (R-FL).

She's definitely that. I just read her biography. She's a dentist with a law degree. Odd pairing IMHO. Since she lives in Laguna Niguel, she does have good taste in her residence. Beyond that she seems weird and appears to enjoy the notoriety. One weird bitch indeed.

My wife was a biology professor before she went to law school (long story). I guess that makes her a biologist with a law degree.

Orly is just weird. I wonder if she seriously practices either of her chosen professions? Did her biography mention it. I don't have any desire to read her bio.

Biology and law is a great combination IMHO. Yes she does own several dental facilities in the Mission Viejo area in California. She also seems to be a prolific filer of legal cases. She at least doesn't seem to care about the politics of those she goes after regarding their birth.

I work for lawyers with PhD's in Chemical Engineering, Biology, Mechanical engineering, and a few other things... I'm sure there is one in the firm that has one in some medical field too..

I wasn't saying they don't exist. I was merely pointing out that dentist and lawyer are a relatively rare combination. Doctorates and law degrees are not as rare. In fact, I'd say they're necessary in technical areas of the legal profession. Look at all the biotechnology patent attorneys that hold doctorates.

BTW, when you're protesting are you wearing a Guido Fawkes mask?

Well Rubio was born here allright but apparently his story about his parents fleeing here just ahead of Castro's takeover was slightly off, they 'fled' here two years before Castro took over.

Yeh, I saw that this morning. Another "escape from the Godless commies" myth dashed.
