Baltimore Orioles slugger Luke Scott(notes) stopped by baseball's winter meetings Tuesday and, after some harmless chatter about his team's offseason dealings, stated with conviction that President Barack Obama was not born in the United States.

Oh, yes, he did. Scott's opinion about the president's birthplace — while certainly not unique — was a stunning climax to a friendly and frank 20-minute Answer Man session that spanned his enthusiasm for baseball, hunting, firearms, personal responsibility and smaller government.

" was not born here," Scott asserted to Answer Man in the session's last segment. "That's my belief. I was born here. If someone accuses me of not being born here, I can go — within 10 minutes — to my filing cabinet and I can pick up my real birth certificate and I can go, 'See? Look! Here it is. Here it is.' The man has dodged everything. He dodges questions, he doesn't answer anything."

21. Actually, Jim Bunning was very intelligent.

A conservative schmuck, and presumably now also suffering from dementia, but as a ballplayer he was know for being one of the smart ones.

9. Look, this is a way of mainstreaming the bullshit right-wing world view

just like football in the 1970's mainstreamed wearing religion on your sleeve. Now what do we have? Every dipshit asking me if I have enough Jesus. Take this shit seriously.

On the other hand, this will give me something to shout about when the Orioles visit Safeco next year. Things have been very boring up north for far too long.

But what is Adam Jones thinking defending this bozo?

[HuckleB]

20. Who will be the first to photoshop Luke Scott into the "Get A Brain Morans" photo?

That's a poster that should be raised at every park the Orioles visit next year.
