Rep. Schmidt whispers "I agree with you" to birther

Rep. Jean Schmidt (R-Ohio) may be the worst stage whisperer in recent American political history.

At a Labor Day tea party event in Cincinnati, Schmidt was approached by a slightly unhinged constituent who wanted to know why she wans't demanding to see President Obama's birth certificate. ThinkProgress happened to have a tracker hovering nearby, who recorded the exchange, which captures the wink-wink game some GOP pols are playing with the birther fringe.

"You can't be a president..." the woman shouts as a Schmidt supporter tries to get in between the camera guy and the participants.

Schmidt them tries to get her attention by saying "M'aam, m'aam."

When the woman stops talking, Schmidt leans into her ear and whispers -- loudly enough to be picked up by the mike: "I agree with you, but the courts don't."

Schmidt is referring to a string of recent court decisions throwing out birther lawsuits.
