"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."
-- Sen. Rick Santorum

WTF is that eye supposed to symbolize? The world in general? Like "look at those bad baddies in Iraq, don't look to us, no, look there, over there?" I don't get it. And someone should tell that guy that just because he's watched the movies, it doesn't make him cool.
