So, Tom Grover over at KVNU (whom I like quite a bit, but I’m pretty sure he doesn’t feel the same of me) is an overnight sensation.

First, he got a giant quote in the New York Times earlier this month talking about Mitt Romney’s campaign. Here’s a taste:

Tom Grover, 26, a Mormon who is the host of a weekday talk show on politics on radio station KVNU here, said that while he thinks Mr. Romney has handled the scrutiny admirably, some of his callers were incensed about Mr. Romney’s repudiation of his own ancestors’ polygamy. The church outlawed the practice a century ago, but members are taught to understand that polygamy had a theological and historical context in the church, which Mr. Romney’s remark ignored.

“That really left a bad taste in people’s mouths,” Mr. Grover said. “That’s a tough thing for people to hear when their ancestors sacrificed a lot to live that life. They probably wouldn’t bring polygamy back, but they honor the place of it in church history.” READ THE REST ON TOMS BLOG

Now, that is pretty cool, no? Well, the Cinderella story for Tom is getting better. Tom just made it to … Wonkette

Everybody knows that when Jesus Christ returns to Missouri to begin His thousand-year reign on Earth — Oh, what’s that? You didn’t know Jesus is returning to Missouri? Well, there’s probably a lot you don’t know about the Church of Jesus Christ of the Latter-Day Saints (“The Mormons!”). All religions are filled with strange and crazy things, and Mormonism is no exception. READ THE REST

Now, there is no way that Tom is going to think this is nearly as cool as I do, but, wow, the Wonkette. That’s like the blog equivalent to a Friars Club Roast (maybe). Congrats, Tom, I am jealous as hell, but, whether you like it or not, that’s two giant media hits in one week, and that is very, very cool.
