Anderson Cooper Kicks Butt on a Birther

Anderson Cooper interviews Arizona lawmaker Cecil Ash about his attempt to pass a ridiculous law requiring future Federal office candidates to show proof of birth. Cooper spends eight minutes destroying the myth that President Obama wasn't born in Hawaii and asking Mr. Ash why a leader, like himself, wouldn't rebut ridiculous charges that the president was born here rather than propagate the hype.

This discussion is why CNN is seen as more objective than Fox, which has never done an interview like this despite having the same facts or MSNBC which would have had Keith Olbermann conduct the interview in a manner that would have been seen as highly partisan.
