Douchebag du jour (VI)

It's former MA governor and now presidential hopeful Mitt Romney.
I know, the last two douchebags have not exactly been news. But douchebaggery of such grand proportions warrants the mention despite the obvious source.

Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney on Wednesday denounced the Rev. Al Sharpton's remarks about God and his Mormon faith, saying it could be construed as "a bigoted comment."

"It shows that bigotry still exists in some corners," said Romney...

Sharpton said, "As for the one Mormon running for office, those who really believe in God will defeat him anyways"

Romney is a douchebag for the presuppositions, which are:
Bigotry is not widespread, it is hidden in corners.
Reverend Sharpton's remark was the most bigoted thing we're likely to encounter in our privileged lives.
Before Reverend Sharpton made this remark, we all were unaware that bigotry exists.
