mocks Mourdock for having to deny he worships a rape-loving deity

On his show Thursday night, Jon Stewart of The Daily Show tore into Indiana Republican Senate candidate Richard Mourdock. The GOP candidate recently said that pregnancies that result from rape were “something God intended to happen.” Stewart remarked that it was a bad sign when a candidate was forced to hold a press conference to clarify that he does not worship a rape-loving deity.
