I'm shocked Rick's ego was reined in to only allowing him to claim the name of the first Pope. I'm sure the list of rejected names included "Savior," "JesusII," "Freedom," "ReaganJunior," or whatever his Grinder account name is this month.

DjangoStonereaver		2012-03-20 08:34:06 AM

Joe Lieberman's codename during the 2000 election was "Loser".

If the supposed SS procedure is followed, then all the rest of his family have code names starting with the letter p as well.

Wouldn't that be something if Mr. Buttfroth was caught with butt froth in the next couple months?

R.I.P. PETRA

I think he should be called Savonarola.

No word on Gingrich? Too bad. His would be fun. I shall call him "Hummer Smurf."

vpb		2012-03-20 09:37:14 AM

Petrus? Isn't that Latin for Peeter? I guess he wanted something santorum related.

Gulper Eel		2012-03-20 09:39:15 AM

RON PAUL's code name is Ron Paul, and vice versa.

Mr. Coffee Nerves		2012-03-20 09:54:25 AM

Gulper Eel: RON PAUL's code name is Ron Paul, and vice versa.

The Secret Service isn't authorized in the Constitution so RON PAUL uses the lowest-bidder free market option: "Clete & Earl With One'a Them There Pitchforks, Inc."

Diogenes		2012-03-20 09:56:54 AM

vpb: Petrus? Isn't that Latin for Peeter? I guess he wanted something santorum related.

I think he's going for the root meaning -- Rock.

Romney's is interesting. Though I think it should have been something more subject to moving with the wind. Like Windsock.

Slives		2012-03-20 10:13:03 AM

So do we get to now pick a SS code name for ourselves, just for fun?

I think I would go with Sphinx.
My choice for the wife would be Sassy
And then I would get the kids Spider and Snake.

qorkfiend		2012-03-20 10:14:07 AM

"Javelin" is pretty good.

"Petrus" is...less good.

JAYoung		2012-03-20 10:15:16 AM

Javelin was a lame attempt by George Romney's American Motors to save a dying car company, so I guess it's appropriate.

allegedman		2012-03-20 10:15:23 AM

I wonder if Romney ever drove one of these.

rudemix		2012-03-20 10:15:41 AM

I'm surprised the SS had time to give this info seeing as they are all in Mexico covering Obama's daughters trip there!!!!

Dissapointed, thought it was going to be "Steamer"

Both Javelin and Petrus have certain... phallic connotations, don't they?

At a speech last night he claimed his first car was Rambler station wagon that was his mom's.

Obvious a Cleaveland Steamer but with santorum substitution instead. Pretty obvious. Well, it will be now.

Jesusgod, I did. Came here for this.

I had a 1974 model. Drove it from Houston to Anchorage, via the AlCan. No floorboards. It did the whole Blues Bros. deconstruction when we got there. Ball joints were so blown the bumper was only 3" from the ground, couldn't cross a speed bump.

/I was poor.

Possibly, he did run the company for a while. I would "test drive" every sports car that was produced if I ran a car co. With a hooker in the passenger seat and firing automatic weapons out the window.

/ok, forget the automatic weapon.

The Secret Service being the treasury department, yea RP would probably hire his own agents.

syberpud: Possibly, he did run the company for a while.

His dad ran the company, but left years before the Javelin was introduced. Or it was called AMC, publicly.

Rambler wasn't doing anything the least bit sporty until the late 60s, well after George Romney had moved to be governor of Michigan (and HUD Secretary?).

But I would imagine the Romney family ended up with quite a bit of AMC stock, plus pickings on cars.....

From the googles:

"Petrus is a magazine that brings you every month essential Papal and Magisterial Teachings and Documents, Pastoral Problems, Canon Law, Sunday Homilies and
News and Views from the Catholic World."

I hereby christen it Santorum's Constitution.
