GOP presidential candidate Mitt Romney may say he’s a proud Mormon, but not proud enough to wear Mormon undergarments, according to a snoopy bathroom reporter from one of the nation’s leading newspapers.

Many in the Mormon Church choose to wear what they call temple garments, a set of underclothing traditionally worn by adults who have taken part in a ritual ceremony known as washing and anointing ordinance. The underwear is supposed to be worn regularly, and is held as sacred.

Today’s Baltimore Sun pokes fun at the tradition in an article titled, “I See Utah, I See France,” which details a time when a reporter from the paper visited Romney at his personal residence in Utah during the 2002 Olympics.

Said reporter happened to use his private bathroom and noticed a pair of underwear hanging on the back of the door as she reached for the knob to leave. They were male underwear, size 34, and were made by Fruit of the Loom.

Romney’s refused to address the issue in the past, so the paper ran the story by a campaign spokeswoman, apparently in an effort to determine whether he really doesn’t wear Mormon underwear. She was not amused, and did not comment.
