On the paltry and rote condolences page of LDS Inc's newroom website is this carefully crafted condolence from the flipster Romney:

I was saddened to learn of the death of Gordon B. Hinckley. Ann and I respect him as a man of great faith and character. Like all people who knew him, we were deeply touched by his humility, his sense of humor and by the way he inspired so many people around the world. We will miss his leadership.
Mitt Romney, Former Governor of Massachusetts

Note the lack of any terms which would lead the press to say he held Hinck up as a "prophet" or even a president.

LOL!! Look at Senator Lieberman condolences:

America and the world mourn the passing of the President Gordon Hinckley of the Church of Latter-day Saints. President Hinckley was known and beloved throughout the world for his spiritual guidance and good works. His life story was quintessentially an American one - and he tirelessly dedicated his life to building his Church and promoting our nation's ideals of understanding and tolerance. My prayers are with President Hinckley's family and the members of the Church of Latter-day Saints.

That is choice! he never once used the preface of "The Church of Jesus Christ", only calling the Mormons the Church of Latter-day Saints.

Perhaps he was needling them for necrodunking the Holocaust Jews?
