Mitt's Magical Mormon Undies: Penn Jillette's Rant Redux




Heavy Rant Alert!...



In this (profane) installment of Penn Jillette's Atheist's Guide to the 2012 Election, the Penn and Teller illusionist (and outspoken atheist) sizes up Mitt Romney's religion.

Transcript--
Mitt Romney is wearing crazy underwear. He's wearing magic underwear. He is. I mean, under his pants, he is wearing magic underwear. Magic underwear. And he believes that a convicted con man got golden tablets that no one else could see, and sat with an angel to find out that the original Jews of the Bible were living in North America. Crazy, crazy, crazy, crazy. But... just more modern, not more crazy, than other religions. Not more crazy than Islam, you know, with your... not more crazy than virgin births and resurrections. Not more crazy than any of that stuff.

There is no way in Hell that Obama = Bachman when it comes to religious craziness.

I think some of them are as he said, "Buggy batshit crazy". Sometimes you have to look for the simplest answer.
just my two cents.
