GOP To Obama: "Happy Birthday! Just Kidding, Eff You."

As you may have noticed, we're all aflutter with Presidential Hometown Birthday Celebration fever. We're not alone in our enjoyment - the Republican National Committee has released a series of poorly photoshopped series of birthday cards "celebrating" the event with "humor" in the never-ending effort to squeeze a few bucks out of donors.

The "Barack's Birthday Cards" site classily mocks the president on things like jobs being created, the Blagojevich trial, and Republican gubernatorial candidates running as independents after not allowing a fringe movement push him to the extreme right. Credit where credit is due - there's nary a bad softball-related Elena Kagan joke to be seen. (Maybe they didn't think of it.) But once again, they prove that the best Republican humor is most often unintentional.

Should you rise to their bait and want to donate to the GOP (and by proxy support bad graphic design and bad jokes) you can do so here, or you can choose to give the President a real present and throw a few bucks to the DNC here. In addition, it doesn't look like it's too late to sign his birthday card either.
