Advocate

The Resume

    (1962- )
    Born in Chisnau, Moldova
    Real estate agent/dentist/attorney
    Founded the Defend Our Freedoms Foundation
    Filed lawsuits on behalf of Alan Keyes and Army Reservist Stefan Cook challenging the legitimacy of Barack Obama's presidency, claming that Obama was born in Kenya and thus was not a natural-born citizen

Why she might be annoying:

    Her first name is also internet slang for 'Oh really?'
    The whole 'birther' theory requires you to believe (among other absurdities) that Hawaii's Republican governor is part of a conspiracy to cover for a Democratic president.
    She believes in a crapload of other conspiracy theories, ranging from FEMA building camps for 'anti-Obama dissidents' to Fox News being owned by Saudi Arabia.
    After a contentious interview on MSNBC she called host David Shuster a 'brownshirt.'
    She touted Obama's 'real' Kenyan birth certificate well after it was shown to be a forgery, and not even a very good one. (Among other problems, it lists Obama's birth place as Mombassa, which was part of Zanzibar when he was born.)

Why she might not be annoying:

    She has a black belt in taekwondo.
    She has been sued by fellow birther Philip Berg, setting up a potentially amusing loon v. nutbar case.
    Salon suggested her as a potential Paula Abdul replacement, noting she might become 'the most entertaining Idol judge yet.'
