It's impossible for me to hear Santorum's name and not immediately think of the "Savage Love" definition of it: http://www.spreadingsantorum.com/

(which I understand is much more popular than the Senator himself)

I question the judgment of a guy who gets his panties in a twist over someone inappropriately using a novel:

“You have to really question the judgment of a U.S. senator who compares the war in Iraq to a fantasy book,” said Casey spokesman Larry Smar.

Okay, fine. He can't use an analogy to fantasy novels. Because art and life are totally divorced. My problem with Santorum saying that is that it sounds like he's trying to hide something, for goshsakes.

And the absolute irony of him saying “You cannot negotiate something away from someone who has a messianic vision to a religious conviction that they need this weapon” chokes me up.

Oh well. Great video.
