Upstart comedian Jason Thompson, son of former Gov. Tommy Thompson, brought a dash of much-needed levity to the contentious enterprise car rentals huntsville al election season by releasing a hilarious birther parody video over the weekend. According to the Journal Sentinel , the 20-second clip features Thompson, an attorney at downtown law firm Michael Best Friedrich , performing at a small Kenosha comedy club. We have the opportunity to send President Obama back to Chicago or Kenya, says Thompson, much to the delight of the receptive crowd who no doubt recognized the absurdity of a grown adult in the year 2012 claiming that President Barack Obama was not born in the United States. We are taking donations for that Kenya trip, adds a member of the audience, perfectly playing into Thompson s original joke and finally giving crowd participation at comedy shows a good name.

Wait he was being serious? He wasn t at a comedy club? He was speaking at a fall brunch hosted by the Kenosha County Republican enterprise car rentals huntsville al Party? He actually said We have the opportunity to send President Obama back to Chicago or Kenya, and people laughed? Jesus fucking Christ.
