Idiocy redux

Will someone give Donald Trump a new hair weave and make him go away?

The one-time front runner for the 2012 Republican nomination continued his assault on political sanity with his latest self-aggrandizing stunt of offering Barack Obama $5 million for charity if he would release his college records.

Fortunately most of the MSM found a backbone to resist The Donald's latest plea for attention and Obama took to an appropriate forum, the Tonight Show, to offer a response that should have Leno's writers green with envy:

Mr. Obama told Mr. Leno that the beef dates back to when he and Mr. Trump were growing up Kenya.

“We had constant run-ins on the soccer field,” Mr. Obama said. “He wasn’t very good and resented it. When we finally moved to America I thought it would be over.”

The jury, er make that judge, is still out, on whether attorney Gloria Allred is just as daft at Trump.

She will be in Norfolk Probate and Family Court this morning for a hearing on her motion to unseal the divorce records of Staples founder Tom Stemberg. Reports are swirling Our Man Myth may have fudged his testimony on the company's value while under oath.

Frankly, that's a hard one to swallow even for a man who changes his positions as often as his socks and has played close to the line on his ownership and control of Bain Capital.

But hey, it shifts media attention away from the polls for at least a day.
