52% of Mississippi Republicans believe Obama is a Muslim

That's according to a poll released today.

That puts Mississippi in a class by itself. In no other state does the Obama-is-a-Muslim tent hold over half the GOP voters.

Obviously the good folks in Mississippi don't go in for that fancy-pants news spin that's peddled by your pointy-headed elites.

And that's not the only measure by which Mississippi is in a class by itself.

Mississippi leads all states in infant mortality. Mississippi has the lowest teachers' salaries, the fewest number of university graduates, among the poorest results of any measure of education outcomes and the lowest median household income in the entire country.

Someone with an interest in connecting the dots might be able to make a  case for a causal relationship between lack of education, poverty, and the appeal of discredited political rumors.

It won't be me though. I don't want to stand accused of being a pointy-headed elitist.
