Sophomoric is right.

The poor guy's already screwed -- quit poking him.

I wouldn't be so dismissive, zenobia. He has worked hard as a pitch man to come this far on the backs of all the people who have admired him and is seeding the promise of a future run at the Presidency.

I recall seeing a quote from Santorum hinting that he is fully aware of his situation, and ended up using some innuendo to prove it. He is enough of a dumbass to do this by accident, but perhaps it is a Ric Romero-like humble acknowledgement of his status.

I saw his mug on the news last night, talking about his Christian values and crap. Santorum is one of those people with a perfect backpfeifengesicht; every time I see him, I want to hit his face with a brick.

Maybe it's good that a presidential candidate doesn't see the world through the eyes of a junior high school dork.

He's been in and out of the spotlight until now. It's good to know he can poke fun at himself once thrust onto center stage.

As for Iowa, he's got a pretty good reach around the state, I wouldn't be surprised if he stuck the nomination.

I don't see it happening. He may get third at best because Santorum leaves a bad taste in voters mouths.

If he pushes really hard, this surge may allow him to penetrate Gingrich's base. Coming in third after such a sloppy affair would be a satisfying finish for him.

Cable news will be covered with Santorum for weeks. The far right anti-Romney fringe will try to shove Santorum down the throats of Republicans nationwide but once voters get a close up look at Santorum they'll refuse to bite. Santorum is the flavor of the month.

Yes. It gave him a certain dignity. He's more Caesar than Bibulus.

Naivety isn't exactly a winning feature for a presidential candidate either.

Hey, that's interesting. His actual name is Richard John Santorum.

zenobia: Sophomoric is right.

How about no? The man is an immoral scumbag who spends his time in the spotlight talking about how much better than everyone else he thinks he is. He wants to be left alone? Then he can kindly go shut up.

I just think yesterday was one of those days where he struggled mightily to be straight. It was a glimpse into his gay side which allowed him to be cheeky. I'm sure when he is sexing another man he has a great sense of humor. At least until the guilt sets in.

He needs a new PR guy to sit on his staff and handle things better. Someone with charm, a quick tongue, and the flexibility to fill many holes in the campaign.

Rather than paraphrase the great Cecil Adams, I will instead provide a link to The Straight Dope article on the topic:

Don't lie.
He asked Google.
There was never a lawsuit.

Dick, yes. The middle name meaning toilet OR prostitute pick up. Sounds frothy.
