It's not that he's a Mormon, it's that he's a nutjob

The Republican candidates for president seem to be having a contest as to which one can be the most idiotic in the quest to appeal to the worst reptilian brain components of their constituency.

First we had Rudy Giuliani saying that Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama would invite Osama bin Laden to their inauguration (and would that be so terrible if it meant he were apprehended?). Now we have Mitt Romney saying that Adam and Eve looked "promiscuous".

No, I am not joking.

Romney: Adam and Eve looked slutty

OK, that's not quite what he said, but still...the former Massachusetts Governor (and current Iowa and New Hampshire GOP frontrunner) made an odd joke, it seemed to me, while campaigning in New Hampshire today, reports ABC News' ace cub reporter Matt Stuart (LINK).

At one young couple's house, Romney remarked at the large leaves on their tree, quipping, "Adam and Eve would not have looked as promiscuous if they had had leaves this big."

Huh?

Adam and Eve were naked. (Before eating from the Tree of Knowledge, that is, after which they became ashamed of their nakedness.)

Does naked = promiscuous?

Asked what he meant, a Romney spokesman told Stuart he meant what he said.


Adam and Eve looked promiscuous? Remember that scene from Bananas in which the new "President" of San Marcos dictates that all citizens must change their underwear every half hour and wear it on the outside, so he can check:





Doesn't sound like just the stuff of screwball comedies anymore, does it?
