Rowhouse Logic - Breathtaking Inanity

Most of you probably already know that everybody’s favorite dog loving drama queen and total creampuff, Rick Santorum, had to admit to being a lying sack of shit today. Whatever, this is just too delicious to ignore:

Republican U.S. Sen. Rick Santorum’s office acknowledged yesterday that it cannot locate public statements of the senator questioning the Iraq war, despite the senator’s claim last week that he has publicly expressed his concerns.

But Santorum said that doesn’t mean he hasn’t made the comments.

In an interview last week, he said he had publicly and privately raised questions about efforts to contain the insurgency and to limit Baathist involvement in the new Iraqi government. He made his remarks in response to a charge by his leading Democratic challenger, Robert P. Casey Jr., that Santorum has failed to “ask the tough questions” about Iraq.

Robert L. Traynham, Santorum’s spokesman, said a search of Nexis, a news database, and the office’s press clippings had not turned up any account of those comments. He noted, however, that the office’s records are incomplete because the office is unable to record everything the senator says.

“I do a lot of interviews on TV, on radio, with print reporters who don’t happen to write everything I say,” Santorum said yesterday. “The fact that it hasn’t turned up in print doesn’t mean I haven’t said it.”

I can’t even believe that those lazy bastards in the press didn’t happen to write down Queen Rick’s concerns about the Administration’s handling of the insurgency. The nerve of some people! This revelation is particularly galling due to the fact that so many other Republican politicians have come forward with legitimate, serious and timely questions about our nation’s war effort in Iraq (how does one write the sound of wind blowing through a ghost town?).

It’s a little late to join a party that’s already a few years old, but I guess it’s nice to see little Rick claim, falsely and proactively, to have had some stake in the concerns of those less delusional than himself. For a lie poorly told, I’d say Rick deserves a milkbone cookie and a crisp pat on the ass.

I’ll add that our dog loving creampuff, Rick Santorum, isn’t just lying like a sack of shit to the press, he’s doing it to his own constituents too. Matt tells the tale of being reassured by Queen Rick’s office that “at no time has the FBI used its authority to request records from libraries or bookstores. ” As it turns out, Rick was lying to Matt. Personally, I blame Matt’s recent foray into moral divergence on this incident. Let’s just all hope the poor kid recovers.

Anyway, the really depressing part of this isn’t even the unhinged madness reguarly displayed by my senator, though that is indeed painful. No, the depressing part is yet to come. The gut punch is going to come just a year from November, when Casey has his ass handed to him in the general and loses to Santorum by 5 (20?) points. On that note, have a nice day!
