Collected Santorum Dribblings: Volume One

Welcome to a new and exciting feature: The Collected Santorum Dribblings.

Rick Santorum, after a greasy slide to the front of the race for the Republican Presidential nomination, is finally being paid some serious attention by the national press.

Is this a good thing? Maybe not for him, maybe not for his campaign, but it’s certainly hilarious to poke fun at the worst Republican public speaker since Dubya ran to his hidey hole a few years back.

Let’s aim to not only make this a fun pursuit, but an educational one as well — it’s our duty as citizens to find a place to absorb all the Santorum dribs and drabs, to help us create a coherent picture of this candidate, made of all the squits and squirts of Santorum we find every day.

On the campaign trail, Santorum stokes voters’ outrage that they are under-appreciated by people in power.

“You are not being talked to as adults,” Santorum told a Tea Party rally in Columbus on Saturday. “You are being treated as mindless, fly-over-country rubes who don’t need to know the truth.”

He just forgot to add “…by me and the republican party” to the end of that sentence.

Slimy Santorum is against amniocentesis. Don’t you dare try to find out anything about that unborn child, you!
