His book's demeaning attack on women choosing careers over barefoot-and-pregnant helped obliterate his 2006 reelection campaign. It's a pity the debates have only touched on it once.
His zombie follower don't realize he's, at best, an establishment pawn.
We can add this to his bizarre answer on taxes, suggesting his own wife had no access to them on the home computer.
“Just because I’m a mom that does not mean that I didn’t want to be there,” Palin told Hannity, responding to Santorum’s accusation that she’s skipping CPAC to earn money and support her kids. “I’m the proud mother of five. My kids don’t hold me back from attending a conference.”
She added, “I will not call him the knuckle-dragging Neanderthal. I’ll let his wife call him that instead.”
Both Palin and Santorum are contributors to Fox News.
Conservative radio host Tammy Bruce, who is close to Palin’s team, excoriated Santorum for his comments.
“Make note: The ‘All she wants is money’ & attacks on her motherhood are the new line against Palin,” she tweeted. “It’s patronizing crap, nothing less.”
“All I said was — she is VERY busy. PERIOD,” Santorum tweeted after the Politico report quoted his appearance on a radio show. “Reporter trying to create something out of nothing.”
“If CPAC were in Anchorage, I wouldn’t go, I have responsibilities, too,” he said.
But listeners can be the judge as Santorum’s comments were made during a live online radio interview http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ny2aopQ08Bg with conservative commentator S.E. Cupp.
You call Santorum’s remark, an “anti-woman soundbite”, yet the former House speaker, Newt Gingrich, ALSO does not favor women in direct ground combat units, and his words were much more pointed.
