Ellison gets shout-out in Obama’s Cairo speech

President Obama’s much ballyhooed speech in Cairo today included a mention of Rep. Keith Ellison — albeit not by name. Here’s the pertinent passage:

And when the first Muslim American was recently elected to Congress, he took the oath to defend our Constitution using the same Holy Koran that one of our Founding Fathers — Thomas Jefferson — kept in his personal library.

Of course some cretins — yes, we’re thinking of you, Dennis Prager! — took this as a threat to traditional American values.
