Santorum losing in Pennsylvania, while obvious for awhile, is such a great thing. That is why I have no qualms with poking fun at his scary, obviously oppressed freakish family.
Let me tell you a bit about Santorum, for those of you who may not be all that familiar. Actually, I think it best if he speaks for himself. Here's just a few of his quotes which tell you all you need to know about his character.
"It is startling that those in the media and academia appear most disturbed by this aberrant behavior, since they have zealously promoted moral relativism by sanctioning "private" moral matters such as alternative lifestyles. Priests, like all of us, are affected by culture. When the culture is sick, every element in it becomes infected. While it is no excuse for this scandal, it is no surprise that Boston, a seat of academic, political and cultural liberalism in America, lies at the center of the storm." --On recent molestation scandals by the Catholic Church (2002)
"In every society, the definition of marriage has not ever to my knowledge included homosexuality. That's not to pick on homosexuality. It's not, you know, man on child, man on dog, or whatever the case may be." --On Homosexuality (2003)
"If the Supreme Court says that you have the right to consensual sex within your home, then you have the right to bigamy, you have the right to polygamy, you have the right to incest, you have the right to adultery. You have the right to anything." --Griswold case where he argued against couples having the right to use birth control. (2003)
I love his 'hip' Lord of the Rings quote:
"As the hobbits are going up Mount Doom, the Eye of Mordor is being drawn somewhere else. It's being drawn to Iraq and it's not being drawn to the U.S. You know what? I want to keep it on Iraq. I don't want the Eye to come back here to the United States." --On Iraq (2006)
Perhaps you should first understand the story before using it as ananalogyy. I vote this as best quote of 2006. Stupid as it is, it makes my bumpersticker all the more funny.
(It's really a magnet. Shh...Don't tell anyone, I'm full of 'shock and awe' it hasn't been stolen in the months I've had it.)
Due to Santorum's comments on homosexuality, he has a slang named after him. It's quite nasty.
Just incase you are not sold on his character. For something completely different..
Santorum and his wife, Karen Garver Santorum, have six children: Elizabeth Anne, Richard John Jr., Daniel James, Sarah Maria, Peter Kenneth and Patrick Francis. In 1996 their son Gabriel Michael was born prematurely and lived for only two hours a sonogram taken before Gabriel was born revealed that his posterior urethral valve was closed and that the prognosis for his survival was therefore poor). Karen Santorum wrote a book about the experience: Letters to Gabriel: The True Story of Gabriel Michael Santorum. In it, she writes that the couple brought the deceased infant home from the hospital and introduced the dead child to their living children as "your brother Gabriel" and slept with the body overnight before returning him to the hospital. The anecdote was also written about by Michael Sokolove in a 2005 New York Times magazine story on Santorum. Karen is also the author of a book on etiquette for children.
And they want to say homosexuality is perverted... That's just fucking disgusting and a horrible thing to do to their children.
