Strictly speaking, this isn't "quite" what the idiot complaint is. The 
argument was, initially, that he couldn't possibly be born in the US, 
and thus be president. What followed was the proclamation that Hawaii 
officials *must* have been bribed to create a fake "short form" 
certificate, because they refused to release the original (which is 
plausible, as least in terms of the short form being not a direct 
photocopy of the original, but completely stupid, in that you kind of 
have to "prove" that someone was bribed, or something like that...). 
Only later did some of the more serious nutcases argue that even the 
original long form had to be fake, because well, it was all a 
conspiracy, somehow, by his parents, to make him president, somehow, 
right from like, the day he was born, in someplace not the US, or like.. 
something.

Sadly, one of the idiots in Arizona, if you believe the tabloids (and 
sometimes they do, in cases like this, tell something resembling truth), 
is still wasting time, and government money, on "proving it a fake!"
