Breaking in the NY Times, over the past few minutes, it appears payback's a bitch for the latest rebirther of birtherism, none other than "The Donald," himself. Live, from Washington, at the White House Correspondents' Dinner at the Hilton, President Obama and Seth Meyers go all in Trump's face, who was present as a guest of the WaPo, in front of the entire D.C. press corps!
Damn! I am loving this!

In “Celebrity Apprentice,” Mr. Obama told Mr. Trump, teeth flashing, “the men’s cooking team did not impress the judges from Omaha steaks, but you recognized that this was a lack of leadership, so you fired Gary Busey.”
“These,” Mr. Obama said, “are the kinds of decisions that would keep me up at night. Well-handled, sir. Well-handled...”

...Painful.
Apparently, Seth Meyers was even more brutal. Checkout the links, above.
