Sharpton needs religion class

"The Reverend" Al Sharpton seems unaware that Citibank has had such a good experience with the Mormons that it goes out of its way to give them preference in hiring, that millionaire Howard Hughes surrounded himself with Mormons because he found he could trust them and that the BYU business school was last year rated third in the nation among all B-schools, just behind Harvard and Wharton.

If we're to judge trees by their fruits, perhaps the Rev. Al should take a short refresher course in comparative religion, or at least catch up on his reading of current affairs before charging that presidential candidate Mitt Romney's religion has deficiencies. And, by the way, Mr. Sharpton, what have you done about cleaning up the language of your black rapper friends since getting Don Imus fired?
