Donald Trump loses it on CNN, and makes Mitt Romey oh so proud to have him in his corner. Update: Romney releases birth certificate. With a surprise ending!

"His mother was not in the hospital,” Trump said of President Barack Obama. 

Trump repeated that he believes Obama was born in Kenya, prompting Blitzer to interject: "Donald, Donald, you’re beginning to sound a little ridiculous." 

"No, I think you are Wolf! Let me tell you something, I think you sound ridiculous." Trump responded. 

Trump attacked CNN reporter Jim Acosta's segment before he appeared on the show, saying Acosta was parroting Obama campaign talking points, and took several shots at the cable network's ratings woes. 

Trump added that he believes the Obama campaign attacks on him are “reverse psychology," designed to keep people from truly investigating the issue.

The President is using "reverse psychology?' By doing what? Allowing this idiot to spew this nonsense and then using him as a punchline at the White House Correspondents Dinner?

If you listen to Trump's reason for refusing to drop this issue all he can keep  saying is that  "there are many, many people who do not believe the birth certificate is authentic." What I think Blitzer should have followed up with is, "Are any of these people sane?"

Somewhere Mitt Romney is lying in a hotel room with a pillow wrapped around his head screaming. "What was I thinking? Is it too late to cancel the fundraiser in Vegas?"

Update: I almost forgot to refute Trump's claim that Obama provided a biography that identified he was born in Kenya to a publisher.  You can find that here.

Update 2: For those who are claiming that Mitt Romney is staying above the fray in this whole birther debate, perhaps you could explain why Mitt Romney just released this.

However I am not sure this was a smart move on Romney's part as it sort of brings up a rather controversial family fact of its own:

Yes, Republican Mitt Romney appears eligible to be president, according to a copy of Romney's birth certificate released to Reuters by his campaign. Willard Mitt Romney, the certificate says, was born in Detroit on March 12, 1947. 

His mother, Lenore, was born in Utah and his father, former Michigan governor and one-time Republican presidential candidate George Romney, was born in Mexico. 

So on a day when real estate and media mogul Donald Trump was trying to help Mitt Romney by stirring up a new round of questions about whether Democratic President Barack Obama was born in the United States, Romney's own birth record became a reminder that in the 1968 presidential campaign, his father had faced his own "birther" controversy.

So let's get this straight. While Romney is climbing into bed with the man who falsely claims that President Obama is not legitimate because he was not born in this country, he releases a birth certificate which shows that his father, who once ran for President himself, actually WAS born in another country?

Can everybody say "Awkward?"
