Ted Williams And His Golden Voice STUCK IN OHIO!

Earlier we wanted to cry happy tears when we heard that Ted Williams would no longer be homeless, would likely have too many job offers to choose from, and would soon be seeing his mom in Brooklyn, for the first time in a long time. And now we want to cry sad tears, because TMZ reports that Williams, scheduled to be in New York right now (the Today show is flying him for a Thursday morning appearance)... is actually stuck in Ohio, unable to fly because he doesn't have his birth certificate!

This news comes from his rep (yep!), who says he "is currently at the courthouse in Columbus, OH trying to get a copy of his birth certificate." The rep notes that "having to reestablish identity is a common problem for the homeless." Can someone with a private jet please bring this man back to Brooklyn?! Obama, are you listening?

If he were president, he wouldn't need no stinkin' birth certificate.

Bloomberg has jet. Surely he could give the guy a lift.

just saying

Sorry, but Bloomberg needs that jet to fly to his mega-million mansion retreat in Bermuda.

only if he agrees to go see a Broadway show.

Bloomberg only seems to be interested in having people see Broadway shows

since when do you need your birth certificate to fly?

Since a birth certificate isn't even an accepted ID document at an airport, I'd assume that he has no acceptable identification (a state-issued non-driver's ID, for example) and without the birth certificate is unable to get one.

He can't board a plane with out a certificate. He should take Air Force One, no one needs a certificate to board that. You don't need a certificate to get the nuclear codes like Obama did.

well. i feel safer.

He can just make a fake one like Obama did...calm down only kidding!

The time is right now with the Tea Party entering Congress and they have loads of birthers. Ga Gov-Elect Nathan Deal sent a letter to Obama asking for his birth certificate and that Nathan Deal's no newbie, he has 9 years' experience in Congress while Obama only had 2.
The funniest thing also happened to Obama: on his victory-day in Illinois, the Lottery drew 666. So heaven spoke through the Lottery.
Announce this good news to the world folks, this is the end of the fraud in the White House.

Wow, you must be the all-time Troll!
It was a million to one shot that a comment on this story would offer you the opening you're perpetually on the lookout for to spew your drivel all over an unsuspecting and uninterested public, but you took that chance, and boy did it pay off! Just goes to show what bull-headed persistence can do for you. Hat's off to you!

geirsmith

You must be some crazy cult crackpot. Obama's not got any birth certificate and you follow him. If that's not crazy what is!
You give the nuclear codes to a stranger that you've not vetted.
Thomas Jefferson said anyone who doesn't criticize the POTUS is a traitor so what does that make yuo and the Obama-Cult?
I'll add TRAITOr next to your name in future posts OK?

Obama's Marked by 666 which is the announcement of the Apocalypse and Antichrist's Revelation.

Cultees like you will all be revealed for what you are. Stupid and uglies.
The Antichrist will be hurled into hell and everyone with him says the Bible.
I'm not Christian, I'm Tibetan Tantric Buddhism the world's highest form of cutlure because it has yoga and sexual practises of Tantra etc...

Dude, go find your meds, seriously.

You gave the atom bombs to an undocumented alien, you're the TRAITOR. Obama had 666 drawn in the Illinois Lottery the day of his victory. He's the prophecied one and you're the cult-followers of Satan.
