Cringeworthy

No matter how odd to you. Unless they are throwing live wives into the fire, of course. Santorum has certainly said and done many crazy things, as have most members of AmericaÂs political class, but the Âcrazy thingÂ Colmes chose to focus on was SantorumÂs Âtaking his two-hour-old baby when it died right after childbirth home,Â whereupon he Âplayed with it.Â My National Review colleague Rich Lowry rightly slapped down Alan on air, and Colmes subsequently apologized, though not before Mrs. Santorum had been reduced to tears by his remarks. Undeterred, Eugene Robinson, the Pulitzer PrizeÂwinning Washington Post columnist, doubled down on stupid and insisted that Deadbabygate demonstrated how Santorum is Ânot a little weird, heÂs really weird.Â There are SO many examples of Santorum lunacy, that bringing up this is practically supporting him.
Post #352,998 by Another Scott 1/11/12 12:37:00 PM Reply	Agreed. However... Santorum's wife wrote a book about it in 1998. In doing so, she invited discussion and criticism - however much it's in bad taste. http://www.amazon.co...rum/dp/1568145284 If she and he wanted it to be a private death ritual, they should have kept it private. And don't forget, he has reactionary views about what other people should and must do in similar situations. That needs to be taken into account, IMHO. My $0.02. Cheers, Scott.

I above all liked the city because it was filled with people all a-bustle, and the clatter of hooves and carriages, and with delivery wagons and drays and peddlers and the boom and clank of freight trains. And when those black clouds came sailing in from the west, pouring thunderstorms upon us so that you couldn't hear the cries or curses of humankind, I liked that best of all. Chicago could stand up to the worst God had to offer. I understood why it was built--a place for trade, of course, with railroads and ships and so on, but mostly to give all of us a magnitude of defiance that is not provided by one house on the plains. And the plains is where those storms come from." -- E.L. Doctorow

Been to too many funerals in my life, with people who I don't agree with, hearing all kinds of shit spouted during them. Didn't matter. Funerals are for the survivors, and I give them a pass for pretty much everything that week.
Post #353,021 by hnick 1/11/12 5:22:42 PM Reply	Actually, it does. Santorum is a fundy whack job who wishes to impose his bullshit on others. He is no longer one of the newly grieving; he is leveraging this incident to get other whack jobs behind him for personal gain. If he kept it personal, it could be bypassed as a personal family quirk. Since he publicized it for personal gain, he's a running target. Fuck him where he lives.

Post #353,022 by pwhysall 1/11/12 5:24:58 PM Reply	Re: Santorum has no problem As a relatively disinterested onlooker, I can say that I think that, if these candidates are at all representative of the views of the membership of the Republican Party, then the GOP has some fucking funny ideas about what constitutes "liberty". Santorum in particular needs shooting, setting on fire, shooting again, burying in quicklime, encasing in concrete, and then pissing on. The man is an affront to all civilisation and reason.
Post #353,024 by hnick 1/11/12 5:40:24 PM Reply	Well spotted; good choice of words.
Post #353,028 by folkert 1/11/12 10:01:02 PM Reply	So how is it... being Devastated by the NHS there in the UK? That is according to Santorum. He is a serious DICK.

He is proof, if it were needed, that one can attain multiple university degrees and still emerge at the other end of the process absolutely fucking thick as mince. We've got one like that; Diane Abbott. Went to Cambridge. Hides it well.
