The Santorum for President campaign spread to New Hampshire
today where he was asked by a student if he was aware that his campaign slogan, "Fighting to Make America
America again," was actually borrowed from a
"pro-union poem by the gay poet Langston Hughes." Oops. Santorum said:
"No I had nothing to do with that. I didn't know that. And the folks who worked on that slogan for me didn't inform me that it came from that, if it in fact came from that."
When asked shortly after what the slogan meant to him, he tried to pretend his slogan wasn't really a slogan:
"Well, I'm not too sure that's my campaign slogan, I think it's on a web site."
Don't worry Ricky. Nobody who would vote for you has ever heard of Langston Hughes.

Rick "Man on Dog" Santorum just won't go away will he? Is there a stupider man on this planet? Well maybe Donald Trump.
Also, let's not forget that Dick Santorum is a Dead-Baby Snuggler. Remember that fun story?
Yup, Dick and the Missus took their dead baby home from the hospital to introduce the 20-week fetus (named Gabriel, after the archangel) to the rest of the Santorum kids (all six).
According to The Washington Post, the Santorums sang to, snuggled, and slept with the...ahhhh...decedent. Dick also kept a photo of the dead baby in his Senate office.
A wee snippet from the Post:
"They took photos, sang lullabies in his ear and held a private Mass. 'That's my little guy,' Santorum says, pointing to the photo of Gabriel, in which his tiny physique is framed by his father's hand. The senator often speaks of his late son in the present tense. It is a rare instance in which he talks softly."
Ahhhh...and THIS man is running for the White House? Actually, sounds PERFECT for the Republicans.

OK, then (shamelessly stealing this from a reader of Andrew Sullivan's blog) I recommend "Google me!"
Don't worry about shamelessly stealing from Sullivan's blog, Will. Where do you think I got the idea for this post?
