to the media apparently. How else do you explain the constant description of people in news accounts as "devout". There is very rarely a qualification to the statement, such as self-described or PR flack described but you get the idea.
Kyle Sampson is routinely referred to as a devout Mormon. Maybe they meant moron but he's from Utah so I'll give benefit of doubt here. Anyway, who gives a fuck if he considers himself or others view him as devout? How fucking devout can he be if he is all in with the loyal Bushies?
Is that what Mormonism is about? Funny underpants aside, I'd like to think that most faith based belief systems including Mormons have an underlying theme of helping your fellow man, being a good person etc.
I'm guessing they probably just threw that banging your wife's sisters in when no one was looking and expecting it would get tossed anyway.....who knew it would stick for so long....
The larger point is that, objectively speaking devout means an awful lot of things to many different people. Unless, it is being used to illustrate the craven hypocrisy of a douchebag like Sampson, it doesn't belong in the story. File it with the bullshit about him being the second coming of Michael Jordan on the basketball court with Ashcroft.
I could riff on this one for days...pisses me off, man.
