It's ok, Associated Press, the Mormons like Jesus too.

You know it's got to be a special piece of bad journalism when it's got some of the left's very best defending Republican presidential candidate, and Mormon, Mitt Romney. And, in fact, it is: a particularly bullshit "news" article by the A.P. highlighting the "polygamy branch" of the Romney family tree. Apparently Mitt's great-grandparents were polygamists, though he is against the practice and has been married to one woman for 37 years. (For the record, how many other Republican front runners can say that?) As Shakespeare's Sister rightfully points out, this has "zero fucking relevance" to the campaign. This is no more relevant to Romney's campaign, or life for that matter, than it would be to know that any other politician's great grandparents had been strong proponents of Jim Crow laws, though they themselves of course are not. Bringing it in to the campaign, let alone calling it news, insults the public and the media establishment as a whole, and I really hope that this gets called out somewhere other than the many blogs that have written about it. SS also brings up the obvious religious implications inherent in making big news out of practically fabricated biographical information (insinuating Romney supports polygamy)- while Mormons are indeed Christians, they aren't the right kind, the "strong leader" kind, the sober up and find evangelical Christianity then go make war in the Middle East kind. And that's who America likes to lead it.

Right into the ground.
