Quote Of The Week

In today's column in the New York Times, Maureen Dowd discusses Mitt Romney's speech last week about his Mormon faith. She interviewed Jon Krakauer who wrote about the history of the Mormon Church in his book "Under the Banner of Heaven."

Krakauer compared Romney's speech with J.F.K.'s famous speech about his Catholicism thusly: " J.F.K.'s speech was to reassure Americans that he wasn't a religious fanatic. [M]itt's was to tell evangelical Christians 'I'm a religious fanatic just like you.'"

When is this election over?
