"I love America more than you!"

Today's latest idiotic one-upmanship comes from Keith Ellison, the newly-elected congrescritter who happens to be Muslim. Therefore, he unsurprisingly intends to swear his oath of office on a koran, rather than a bible.

Makes sense, yeah?

Equally unsurprisingly some people are being stupid about it, chanting about "American values" and all that crap.

So Ellison's reaction to the criticism? He managed to get permission to use a koran that once belonged to Thomas frikken Jefferson.

Erosion of American values, indeed...
