Saturday Santorum, April 9

Let's see what the former Senator has been up to this week.

In this edition, the Rickster tells us that gas prices are rising because we aren't mining enough coal.  Ummm, we don't get gasoline from coal. And we don't burn gasoline or much petroleum at all in place of coal to generate electricity. Maybe he wants us to switch to coal-fired steam driven automobiles?

Along with other Italian-Americans selling out their immigrant forbears, Ricky warned us of "losing" our country to socialism and entitlements, saying "“once the government has control over your life, over your health, it’s almost impossible to get it back, almost impossible to get freedom back.”   I'm sure his coal mining grandfather was thrilled with the working conditions back in the day, and I'm sure Santorum won't be getting a Senate pension and never used his government-paid senate health plan.

BTW, what does he do for a living? Nothing productive I'm sure.

He kept up this screed when talking to some home school advocates in California*. He also added that he backed the GOPers who were holding the budget hostage over Planned Parenthood elimination and other far-Right riders. Santi said,""I wouldn't have picked this fight, but now that they've picked it, they've got to play it out,...."My concern is that you've got to draw the line on policy, not on a couple billion dollars."  Looks like ya lost that one Rick. I wonder why doesn't go by Dick?

According to The Wikipedia, former Sen. Bob Kerrey once quipped, "Santorum - that's Latin for asshole." Sounds about right,
