You may have heard that CNN’s Glenn Beck was on “Good Morning America” last week on the same day that Mitt Romney was to give a speech addressing – for the first time during this, his campaign to become the Republican nominee for President – his religion. Because he is a Mormon, and because he doesn’t have Chuck Norris’s endorsement, his hold on that number one spot is starting to slip. So I guess his staff felt like it was now or never to address the fact that he practices a religion that a lot of Americans kind of just assume is crazy.

(By the way, I find it weird that Romney never converted to Protestantism – not because I think Mormonism is worse or anything, but simply because Mitt Romney will usually do anything to get elected. He tends not to be very strong in his beliefs, and I would assume that his faith is no different. And I know: I live in the state in which he was once elected governor, and almost everything he said then is the opposite of what he says now. Anyway, I can write “Sorry Mitt Romney, You Suck” another time…)

For some reason, ABC thought it might be a good idea to bring the aforementioned Beck on to talk about it. I’m not sure why they thought that was a good idea, because although Glenn Beck is a Mormon, he is also a windbag. Any insight he might have had because he shares a religion with Romney would be negated by the fact that he never never never knows what the hell he is talking about.

Perhaps hindsight is 20/20, and I’m simply saying this stuff because I already know how ridiculous he looked on the show. But it’s not just that; what has caught a lot of people’s attention is that when it was his turn to comment, the first point he made was, “why are we going to a candidate and asking about religion? Who cares?”

Uh…is that, like, a trick question?

Don’t you care, Glenn Beck? Or am I wrong? I thought you were the same guy who invited The Honorable Keith Ellison on your program on CNN after he became the first Muslim to win election to the U.S. House of Representatives, and said, “what I feel like saying is, ‘Sir, prove to me that you are not working with our enemies.’”

Indeed, who cares about religion?

This genius went on to say: “I’m not accusing you of being an enemy, but that’s the way I feel, and I think a lot of Americans will feel that way.”

You know what I think a lot of Americans feel? That Glenn Beck is an asshole.
