"Santorum also took on Gingrich obliquely, reminding the crowd that he and his own wife, Karen, have been married 21 years and home-schooled their seven children. On Friday, he was less subtle in drawing an implicit contrast with Gingrichs history of marital infidelity, castigating him for sitting on a sofa next to Rep. Nancy Pelosi (D-San Francisco) in a TV ad calling for steps to address climate change.
I didnt sit on the couch with anybody, Santorum said. I would only sit on the couch with my wife. Period. No other women particularly not Nancy Pelosi.
He listens and reads and looks for the truth and speaks the same.
Mitt is a wealthy political bumbler and Rick is a neophyte.
Go Newt!
He is our only hope!
Newt or Romney either one could win this thing, I don’t see how Santorum could. We need to get Santorum out of this race, like yesterday...
Prediction: Newt takes Alabama by a double figure margin.
That's about as condescending as the line "why don't you go deep-fry something" from the movie Sweet Home Alabama
So glorious that I would bet dollars to doughnut holes that Ubama won't participate.
If Myth or Rick is the nominee, the debates are going to be a disaster that I will not bother watching.
I don't know why Santorum even bothers with these kinds of remarks anymore, he has pretty much sewn up the pharisee-holier-than-thou-whited-wall vote. What a sanctimonious prig. Ugh.
“I would only sit on the couch with my wife. Period. No other women particularly not Nancy Pelosi.
This is just about as dirty as a campaign tactic can get. What is he implying, that Gingrich was hitting pelosi? How stupid and childish “ I would only sit on a couch with my wife. Period.”. Is anyone sick of this arrogant, phony, baiting little attorney/politician/xsenator? VinL, I’m with you, he is damn lucky Gingrich is in the race or he WOULD be home sitting on the couch with his wife. PERIOD.

Nobody else.
I don't see how this remark is going to help him. Given that he was wearing a BASS shirt and had gotten the fishing props, he would have been better served if he had said something like "Wow, the lakes must all be empty today."
Instead, he was "impressed" that the 'pervasive' Walmart shopping "activity" was temporarily put on the back burner.
And I don't think Calista shops there....
Just...doesn't...sound...good.
Now the little church lady Sanctamonious wants to be the moral judge on Newt..he is not worthy enough to shine Newt's shoes
If I’m not mistaken, Larry the Cable Guy uses that line at his appearances.
“Santorum also took on Gingrich obliquely, reminding the crowd that he and his own wife, Karen, have been married 21 years and home-schooled their seven children.”
So what? That woman with eight babies beats him! Let’s elect HER president then!Or the other woman who’s got EIGHTEEN kids!
Rick is an idiot if he thinks that is an argument to be elected.
Newt talks about what he will do in the future. Those other three talk about what they did in the past.
I didnt sit on the couch with anybody, Santorum said.
REALLY? Barbara Bower and Hillary Clinton are “anybodies”?
In his tough 2006 race to retain his Senate seat, which he lost by double digits, Rick Santorum attempted to appeal to moderates and liberals in an advertisement touting his work with Sens. Joe Lieberman, Barbara Boxer and Hillary Clinton.
I totally disagree that this was a dig at Gingrich’s many marriages and affairs.
Santorum was simply using an analogy about not sitting on the couch with another woman (I had a pastor that would never sit alone with a women nor be in a car alone with a woman because he wanted to make sure that there was never any question about fidelity) and the incident with Newt and Pelosi- sitting on the couch with Pelosi was improper because it led to all kinds of questioning of Newt’s loyalties. Period.
No, nobody, and I mean nobody, thinks Newt was cheating with Nancy. That’s not the problem.
So that's what the kids called it in Rick's day?
