I didn't read that he does not want to take the oath on the bible. I read that he has asked to take it with the Quran. Big difference. The author seems to have made HUGE jumps in assumptions. He quotes excessively from someone he does not care for but where are all the Congreeman-elect's own quotes?

One of two things happened here; 1. The Congressman-elect decline comment when the author asked, or, 2. The author didn't bother asking and wrote what he was going to write anyway. Either way, it's lousy journalism.
