I’ve missed having former Pennsylvania Senator Rick Santorum to kick around. He was stupid and crazy before it was fashionable. He’s best known for his comparison of gay sex to “man on dog sex.” Those were the days, my friend. Arf, lick, woof.
Santorum was defeated for re-election by Bob Casey in 2006 and he’s mostly kept his head down since then. But with the advent of the Tea Party, Rick has poked his head out of his hole, so it’s time for me to play a bit of whack-a-mole and make him malaka of the week.
Former Senator Man On Dog Sex (as I and many others lovingly called him) has decided to dip his toe into the 2012 Presidential race. Since it’s mandatory for Goopers to say stupid and inflammatory things about Barack Obama, Rick fits right in.Here’s his latest:
The question is — and this is what Barack Obama didn’t want to answer — is that human life a person under the Constitution? And Barack Obama says no. Well if that person — human life is not a person, then — I find it almost remarkable for a black man to say, “We’re going to decide who are people and who are not people.”
The so-called right to lifers have long compared abortion to slavery but very few of them have used this as a cudgel to beat up Obama. But Rick Santorum, like a demented Captain Kirk, is willing to go where few have gone before and claim that Obama should oppose abortion rights because he’s black. I guess Rick forgot that whole “color blind” thing that wingers are forever going on about.
Hypocrisy and opportunism are crucial components of political malakatude and Santorum is good at both. Since he’s allegedly a constitutionalist, I’m surprised that little Ricky didn’t invoke thethree-fifths rule and insist that Obama should, at the very least, apply it to the “pre-born.” Not that Mr. Man On Dog Sex would get that reference but he could always call Ginny Thomas and ask her. She could always interrupt Clarence’s porn viewing and, uh, solicit his views…
Finally, here’s the clip of Malaka Santorum opening his mouth and inserting his foot:
