Possible Republican vice presidential candidate Marco Rubio released evidence of his Catholicism today, in the form of a Certification of First Holy Communion. Obviously the Republicans hope that proof of a real religion on the ticket will counteract the crazy one.

Understandably, the Democrats are suspicious, because this little document seems to have a few odd flaws. Neither "son" nor "daughter" is circled: could nobody figure out if Rubio was a boy or a girl? Is there really a church in Las Vegas? And, of course, there are the dates. First Communion in 1984, but form dated 1986. Apparently it took two years to fill this out. What, was Rubio sitting on the priest's lap at the time?
