"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

So, wait, is Santorum saying that we committed all those troops to Iraq and got all those people killed as a diversion? From what? Who the heck are the hobbits, here?

Well, at least Santorum isn't MY senator anymore. I sure felt unrepresented when I lived in PA.
