(moment of silence, Robin coughs and looks embarassed)
Batman: ...at... any... rate. That is my first point. And then let us consider the evidence of his recent actions at the Conservative Political Action Conference. He spoke for a total of forty minutes. And half of the first ten were all about the Birth Certificate. Watch this, Riddler, and then consider my third point.
Riddler: Which is?
Batman: An exchange with Andrew Breitbart, after the speech, during which Mr. Breitbart made it clear that he felt that asking about the Birth Certificate was not, and I quote, 'A winning issue.' And Mr. Farah replies 'It IS a winning issue!'
Robin: Um, Batman, you sort of lost me there.
Riddler: I'm having a hard time following myself.
Batman: Then Riddle me this, Riddler - when does a question become a winning issue?
(moment of silence)
Batman: When you're expecting the answer to tell you something you want to hear!
Robin: Of course! If he saw the birth certificate he really wanted to see, and it said exactly what the President was saying all along, he'd just look stupid.
Riddler:... but if he saw what he wanted to see, which was that it wasn't there at all, then he'd have the winning issue.
Batman: Indeed, Riddler. So, in deed, word, and goal, Mr. Farah is clearly acting like a Birther. Just because he has not directly and publicly accused the President of having been born outside the United States of America does not exonerate him. His actions up to this date would lay a reasonable suspicion that he is, indeed, what Newsweek has deemed him.
Robin: And to top it off, he has to prove Malice aforethought to win the lawsuit.
Riddler: Confound it! Why do I always work with the wrong people? Boys, get them!
(And mindless cartoon violence ensues, solving nothing in the general scheme of things, much like arguing with Birthers...)
