​A reader pointed out this gem posted on Orly Taitz's blog yesterday:

I decided to check out possibility of running and called Orange County elections office. nobody answered. I left two messages, nobody called back. I drove to the office at the 1700 E Garry Str, ste 231, Santa Ana CA. The office is locked, no schedule of working hours.

I wonder: if one wants to run for office, how does one register, picks up forms, how does one communicate?

This is hilarious. Why?

Well, there's no government office at 1700 E. Garry Street in Santa Ana. What's there, though, is the Elections Committee of the County of Orange. Otherwise known as ECCO. Otherwise known as one of the oldest LGBT political advocacy groups in Orange County.

Dr. Taitz is many things--dentist, lawyer, mother, activist, karate master--but there is one thing she is not: a gay-rights activist.

Writes our tipster:

So in her quest to unseat Obama (via an elected office), Taitz apparently did some sort of Internet search for elections in Orange County, landed upon ECCO PAC, drove to their office, knocked on their doors, and then blogged about her failure.

And she think she's ready for a statewide office? Or even ready to manage a campaign for a statewide office?

1. You are not suitable for office when you can't even figure out where to file papers

All you have to do is check out the Secretary of State's website and all the instructions are there, how hard is that?

2. It's Orange County

She's more than qualified to represent those neanderthals.

3. No Orly, it's personal!

When the Powers That Be in the State of California heard that you were considering a run for public office, they immediately began tracking you and shutting down the offices where you might register to become a candidate. California, which has a distinguished history of fine people in elected office - people like Duncan Hunter, Jerry Lewis and "Duke" Cunningham - just can't quite feature you on the ballot.

You should file a lawsuit, you should.

4. Wouldn't a lawyer know where to pick up and then file papers??..n/t

6. A lawyer should never represent themselves.

but, then, perhaps Oily couldn't find one.

5. It's a snap pulling papers in Orange County

That is, if you enter the right building, aren't color blind and can follow simple one sentence instructions.

I've pulled permits in Orange County and was impressed at its efficiency; a system designed like an Armed Forces Entrance and Examination Station (AFEES). All you have to do is listen to simple one sentence instructions and follow the colored lines painted on the floor to receive your prizes (rubber stamps). When all the boxes are full you're good to go.

7. Hahaha

I'm imagining the elections office giving her the Jehovah's Witness treatment.

8. Sounds like she's ready to run for President . . . .

at least according to some people. :rofl:
