And their point is???

As readers of this blog know, I'm certainly no fan of Mitt Romney. But what the hell does this have to do with the price of tea in China?

SALT LAKE CITY (AP) -- While Mitt Romney condemns polygamy and its prior practice by his Mormon church, the Republican presidential candidate's great-grandfather had five wives and at least one of his great-great grandfathers had 12.

Polygamy was not just a historical footnote, but a prominent element in the family tree of the former Massachusetts governor now seeking to become the first Mormon president.

So Romney's going to be held accountable for the actions of his great- and great-great grandfathers? What do they think he's going to do, make a royal decree that will make polygamy legal again?

If you're going to run a hit piece on a Presidential candidate, at least have the intellectual integrity to center it around the issues, not around ancient tabloid trivialities that have absolutely no bearing on a candidate's qualifications.

Hey MSM-- get a life and get back to doing your job, okay?
