Rush Limbaugh's website is reporting that the reporter, Lara Jakes Jordan (married to Jim Jordan, formerly with DSCC and now John Kerry's campaign manager) added (gay) to the comments.
At best this was a mistake by the reporter. But one must wonder if this wasn't intended to be worse, given who she is married to (a Democratic operative).
Here is the transcript of the interview:

"If the Supreme Court says that you have the right to consensual (gay) sex within your home, then you have the right to bigamy, you have the right to polygamy, you have the right to incest, you have the right to adultery. You have the right to anything," Santorum said in the interview, published Monday.

The difference between Lott's comments and Santorum's comments is quite simple. Lott was f***ing stupid to say what he said. Santorum was misquoted by a reporter who is married to a Democratic operative running a campaign. It is POSSIBLE that the misquotation was deliberate, but that could be my suspicion of Rat dirty tricks.
