WE'D HAVE GONE WITH "CRETINS":

Senate hopeful Buck regrets criticism of Tea Party birthers (Allison Sherry, 7/26/10, The Denver Post)

Republican U.S. Senate hopeful Ken Buck called Tea Partyers questioning the authenticity of President Barack Obama's birth certificate "dumba---s" to a Democratic operative recording his comments without his permission.

On an audio tape obtained by The Denver Post, Buck was caught muttering "will you tell those dumba---s at the Tea Party to stop asking questions about birth certificates while I'm on the camera?" outside a June 11 event in Crowley.
