I'm going to have to disagree with you, Donovan.  Religion doesn't
exist in a special category, exempt from ridicule.  Romney is too easy
of a target for this to be funny, but it hardly qualifies as
"disgusting."  I'd bet that Romney himself would defend it on Free
Speech principles.

Now that I have defended Tom, let me backpedal just enough to indicate
that my sense of humor does not, in this case, correspond with Tom's.
Further, I find negative campaigning distasteful.  But I don't see
that Tom was negative campaigning; he  was just sharing with us
something that he personally found humorous.  Any voter who would have
been influenced by this doggerel would not have voted for Romney in
the first place.
