If you were a political consultant, in the weekend before your party's offical national introduction of your presidential candidate, dick jokes and racism wouldn't likely be your choice to set the tone of the campaign.

Unless you're Mitt Romney's Campaign Manager, Eric "Etch A Sketch" Fehrnstrom.

At a campaign event in Michigan on the Friday before the Republican National Convention, Mitt Romney droped a birther "joke" on the crowd - apparently to take the heat off of Todd Akin.

Seriously, Mitt?! Of course no one has ever asked to see your birth certificate! Nobody asked to see your birth certificate Mitt because, as a rich white man, you are not subjected to race-baiting by the knuckle-dragging GOP base.

What a douche.
