What got into Frothy Mix?

What is Ricky Santorum talking about? Seriously, what could have been going on in his little-nit brain to make him say this?

...Santorum argued that the pro-choice movement infuses passion about abortion rights into "every aspect of their life." He said that because of this, showering at a gym had become an "uncomfortable" prospect for students. 

"They make it uncomfortable for students who come to Austin to shower at a Young Men's Christian Association, YMCA, gym, because they live it," he said. "Because they live it. They're passionate, they're willing to do and say uncomfortable things in mixed company.

I honestly have no idea what he's talking about. He was probably just trying out some words that he doesn't understand, because this makes no sense at all.

A note to all of you out there. Live it!

Rick Santorum is insane

Wingnut politician Rick Santorum hates the idea that the Boy Scouts may soon allow gay scouts and adults in the organization. Okay, we expect this from him. But the man reveals the depths of his insanity by turning this into a conspiracy of the strangest sort:

The former GOP presidential candidate also identified a socio-economic divide in the debate over allowing gay boy scouts, asserting the wealthy CEOs who comprise the Boy Scouts' board would be shielded from the negative effects of lifting the ban.

"It makes sense that men at the top of the food chain whose boys are insulated, although not immune, from the harmful effects of societal change are behind this effort," he said.

Sure, it makes sense, Ricky. To you, maybe. This guy is so out in left field. But that's why it's great fun to have him around. Go, Ricky!

Department of Duh

The headline for a Reuters story:

Santorum says Obama agenda not "based on bible"

Duh. I like the attitude of the White House response although it lacks an important component (see below):

"This is just the latest low in a Republican primary campaign that has been fueled by distortions, ugliness, and searing pessimism and negativity . . ." Ben LaBolt

They certainly deserve that. But he missed the gorilla in the room. LaBolt should have pointed out that our government's "agenda" not only isn't based on the bible but shouldn't be and couldn't be. On account of the, you know, Constitution. 

But no, everyone lets the religious nonsense slide on by. Nothing to see here. Move along.
