All in the Family


While Mitt Romney condemns polygamy and its prior practice by his Mormon church, the Republican presidential candidate's great-grandfather, Miles Park Romney, married his fifth wife in 1897. That was more than six years after Mormon leaders banned polygamy and more than three decades after a federal law barred the practice. One of Romney's great-great grandfathers, Parley Pratt, an apostle in the church, had 12 wives.

[Sure, let's elect a Mormon moron!]
