Jonah’s sick of the word Mormon. Well, more faith talk to come:

Asked about his religious beliefs during an appearance before about 500 Republicans in South Carolina yesterday, Fred Thompson said he attends church when he visits his mother in Tennessee but does not belong to a church or attend regularly at his home in McLean, Va., just outside Washington. The actor and former senator, who was baptized in the Church of Christ, said he gained his values from “sitting around the kitchen table” and said he did not plan to speak about his religious beliefs on the stump. “I know that I’m right with God and the people I love,” he said, according to Bloomberg News Service. It’s “just the way I am not to talk about some of these things.”

Here we go. “How will the non-churchgoer factor play in Thompson’s chances? Does he need to explain whether her fits the definition of Christian? Does it affect his apparell choices? Does he have to give the irregular churchgoer’s version of The Speech?”

Arrrgh.

My guess at the irregular churchgoers’ version of the speech: “My White House will not be unduly influenced by Sunday NFL Countdown on ESPN.”
