Don’t take my word for it; just listen to Santorum himself. Warning: you’ll want to bring your butterfly net and your straight-jacket.

Santorum belongs in an insane asylum
Mitt Romney says screw the Detroit bailout; managed bankruptcy was the way
Santorum says “No, no…the Detroit bailout AND the Wall Street bailout were wrong. See, I’m consistent. I stand on principles, and my positions are consistent.” Wow, see that? Romney says screw the Detroit bailout that actually worked, and Santorum one-ups…
What??? Obama forces contraceptives and abortion on Catholic institutions??
Look, I have sort of a sand-blasted, apocalyptic mind, so the concept of “pro-life” is a joke to me. If you need to terminate a zygote for whatever reason…you know, maybe your hillbilly brother raped you, or maybe you tripped and fell on a semen sample, or maybe you’re just really really flaky and you woke up one day saying “Nah, I’m over that whole baby…
Obama-ism is an ill-defined failure, and here’s why
I just watched an expert panel on Morning Joe try to figure out what “Obama-ism” is. I.e., what is the central thesis of the Obama presidency? Where is his core? How would you sum up what his philosophical moorings are on major issues like foreign policy, economics etc.? I heard John Heilemann say that he could sum up Reagan-ism in…
Gingrich: the Great Debater?
I don’t think so. I was most definitely impressed with this guy initially because he’s got a Toast-Masters style of speaking, he’s grandiose, he’s searing and he knows how to turn the tables on his opponents when they’re backing him into a corner. I mean I see Gingrich and I see some solid…
The Mitt Romney 24-hour turnaround
Within 24 hours, Mitt Romney went from being a lock for 3 and 0 (Iowa, New Hampshire and South Carolina) to being 1 and 2. The Iowa vote was recounted and it turned out that his…
The correct reaction to Bain Capital
Is “I don’t know.” What’s irritating to me is that raising the issue of Bain Capital has any effect at all, one way or the other. If a man who was running a positive campaign feels slighted by a competitor because the competitor decided to play a little rough, and then that man proceeds to get red in the face and put out ads attempting…
Obama can kiss my ass
Look this is old news, everyone who needs to hate Obama hates him and they know why he sucks, but I just need to say this. Obama is useless. When he was campaigning he had exactly the kinds of qualities you look for in a leader (charisma and inspiration, and he…
Mitt Romney double-gaffe; priceless
Gaffe: “I like being able to fire people who provide a service to me.”
Explanation-of-the-gaffe gaffe: “If you expect me to carefully watch every word I say, and worry about how it relates to people….that’s not me. I speak from my life experiences, I’m sure you have your own.”
Translation:
“I like firing people. That’s my life experience; I’m sure yours is different since you were probably fired. I’m not going to worry about how I relate to people when I say that.”
Love it. If people were smart, these semantic trivialities probably wouldn’t matter…but since they’re not it’s a double-gaffe. Gotta love it; as Jon Stewart would say, “It’s been a week and daddy needs another hit of gaffe-crack!!!”

Gingrich isn’t too bad
I like the guy because he’s intellectual blunt. I.e. a combination of being intelligent, articulate, and, when needed, blunt. Now the guy has about 100 ideas a day and 99 of them are removed from the bounds of reality, and he ran what he called “scorched earth politics” back in 90s. But he did find a way to work with Clinton. And…
