Er, you mean like when Rick put out this ad in 2006 touting his bipartisan collaboration with Joe Lieberman, Barbara Boxer and Hilary Clinton on pro-welfare, pro-environmentalism and pro-censorship legislation? Except instead of sitting on a couch, he staged this ad in a wrestling ring...

Santorum sought to portray himself as someone who worked with Democratic colleagues to get things done.

“Too often, this is what it seems like in Washington,” narrates then-Senator Santorum over images of muscular costumed fellows beating each other. “But to get things done, you’ve got to work together.”

He continued: “I teamed up with Joe Lieberman to make college more affordable for low income families. And Barbara Boxer and I wrote a law protecting open space [Open space generally refers to undeveloped land or water area.].”

“I’m even working with Hillary Clinton to limit inappropriate material for children’s video games,” Santorum said as the wrestlers all stop for a moment, seemingly stunned, “because it makes more sense to wrestle with America’s problems than with each other. I’m Rick Santorum and I approved this message.”

OOOOOOH! OWCH!!

That's gonna leave a mark.

More and more handwriting on the wall regarding Rick Santorum's Daddy State big government "compassionate" conservatism. Dubya 2.0.

OWCH!!! Well done, JedJo!

Some tidbits that make me kinda like Santorum ...!

Interestingly, Santorum early in his legal career played a key role in the rise of pro wrestling.

As a young associate attorney for Kirkpatrick & Lockhart in Pittsburgh in the 1980s, Santorum lobbied in Harrisburg on behalf of the World Wrestling Federation in a successful effort to de-regulate pro-wrestling, “arguing that pro wrestling was entertainment, and not a sport, and, as such, should be exempted from federal steroid regulations,” the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reported in a 1994 profile.

Now somebody please tell me God doesn't have a sense of humor! LOLOL!! {^)
