Ouch
A nasty takedown of Rick Santorum after news that the Republican former PA Senator is considering a 2012 run for President. Here's the thing: this slap was authored by prominent GOP strategist Mark McKinnon.
I’m a pretty tolerant guy, but beyond his ideology, some of Santorum’s behavior is just a little bizarre. For example, Santorum has six children. In 1996, he had son born prematurely who lived for only two hours. He and wife brought the child home and introduced the dead infant to the rest of their children as “your brother Gabriel” and slept with the body overnight.
Preemptive strike? We can only hope this is the tone of a long contentious struggle for the Republican nomination. Who's the biggest nutjob without being too unpalatable? Bring on the crazy!
