Bloody William: I'm just imagining Obama sitting back in a chair, reading Sun Tsu, watching Santorum and Romney, and chuckling.

OMG 0BAMA IS TAKING ORDERS FROM CHINA

I May Be Crazy But...: Didn't this get covered with JFK?

JFK did not run on a platform of "vote for me, I'm a religious fanatic," so I think in Santorum's case it is a legitimate question. JFK was not interested in getting into bed with you to make sure you and your spouse weren't doing anything wrong. He was interested in getting you or your spouse into bed with him to make sure you were doing it right.

Tantorum!

Ha!

So now he's just lube?

I'm just imagining Obama sitting back in a chair, reading Sun Tsu, watching Santorum and Romney, and chuckling.

fracto73: sprawl15: Mr. Coffee Nerves: It's 2012 and Republican politicians still don't believe their words can be captured on tape or hard drive and claim misquoting at every turn.

...what the hell is a 'tape'?

It's what you back up hard drives on to.

I back my hard drive up to the cloud:

lohphat: Mr. Coffee Nerves: It's 2012 and Republican politicians still don't believe their words can be captured on tape or hard drive and claim misquoting at every turn.

But many of those same politicians claim a 2,000+-year-old book that started as a set of stories spread by word of mouth, then written down in one language, then translated into another, then another -- all filtered through each culture's precepts of the time -- is unerring.

And in 1978 god changed his mind about black blah people.

ftfy

I contend that the reporter is a 4chan regular. This exchange is PRICELESS.

"Quit distorting my words," Santorum continued. "If I see it, it's bulls-! Come on, man! What are you doing?"

"You sound upset about something," Zeleny responded.


Zeleny using the tried and true Y U MAD BRO?

I love it.

apoptotic: In an interview a few weeks ago on CNN, Santorum said that he frequently misspeaks if/when his wife isn't around to immediately correct him. Ironically, I think this was about the same time he was blaming her for a controversial (and uncredited) passage from his book. I thought to myself "great, so his plan as POTUS is to excuse any policy blunders or diplomatic snafus on his wife not stopping him from saying/doing stupid things??"

Sounds like maybe she should have run instead of him.

Wife-like presidenting detected.

a propane word?

• Psalm 10:4: " ...

That's some great Bevets-like quote mining ya got going there.

skullkrusher: DROxINxTHExWIND: I am no Santorum supporter, but this is bullshiat. He did not mean that Romney was the worst Republican in the country. He was clearly saying that in a general election there would be no incentive for the Republican base to support Romney because his policies resemble Obama's.

You smart boy, DRO. You should get a job not writing shiatty articles at MSNBC

Not sure exactly what you're saying but admittedly, I lost interest after reading the word, boy.

Delay: LordJiro: So now he's just lube?

Semen and lube.

Funny. That was the name of my first EP.

hinten: You have to take the good with the bad. If Santorum followed the Popes orders we would have laws against abortions and birthcontrol but we would have also not invaded Iraq.

Child molestation prosecutions would probably be way down, as well.

"Anyone that quotes me is a liar" is a perfectly legitimate GOP response.

incendi: I really want to know what the "profane word" he used was.

Uterus?

Splinshints: I'm telling you. Santorum looks like a deranged serial killer.


I've always thought he looked like the privileged high school jock who disrespects his girlfriend, narcs on the burnouts, cheats on finals and gets his ass justifiably kicked by the end of the movie.

You know - the guy killed in combat by his own men.

"The worst Republican in the country"


Wow, harsh words. I mean pick one, it's really hard if you honestly think about it.

I'm going with Cantor just for their overall douchieness however, Paul Ryan is moving up the table too and then you have Boner probably number two (surprisingly not Santorum). But then you have Walker, Bush, Jan Brewer, Sarah Palin who doesn't even hold a political position (only missionary).

Open the field to non politicians and the list explodes into frothy excrement.

I really hope this guy loses Pennsylvania...because that would be hilarious.

He should have told the press to use Google.

mrshowrules: incendi: I really want to know what the "profane word" he used was.

I think he used his own name.

"why are you in the media coating my words with santorum?" or something along those lines

In an interview a few weeks ago on CNN, Santorum said that he frequently misspeaks if/when his wife isn't around to immediately correct him. Ironically, I think this was about the same time he was blaming her for a controversial (and uncredited) passage from his book.

"OK? Come on guys, don't do this. I mean you guys are incredible. I was talking about Obamacare, and he is the worst because he was the author of Romneycare."

Waaaah... the newsies are unfair to me. So elect me President of the United States of America and Leader of the Free World, so they'll start going easy on me.

Yep, that's a realistic attitude. And so presidential, too!

He really Britta'd that question.

How is it possible that a person so completely unsuited to be President has made it this far in the run for a major party nomination?

hinten: One thing to remember is that these politicians would be nothing, absolutely nothing without the press.To me this symbiotic love-hate relationship that the press has with politicians is the absolute funniest and most frightening issue in all of this.

The press doesn't need political theater to survive. It also has "what did a celebrity eat for dinner?", "missing white girl!", and "15 ways your shampoo can kill your children!" stories.

incendi: I really want to know what the "profane word" he used was.

He probably spelled it out has "H-E double hockey sticks" then said, "Pardon my French".

...what the hell is a 'tape'?

FTA: "Rick Santorum is becoming more desperate and angry and unhinged every day...He's panicking in the final stages of his campaign."

And you really don't want to be anywhere near desperate Santorum.
