Well, just when you thought that the sexual imaginations of Repugs could go no lower than Scooter's lurid fantasies of training bears to rape little girls, Rick Santorum tries to out-do his own fantasies for "man on dog" sex/marriage.
You do remember
that one don't you?
Santorum: "Every society in the history of man has upheld the institution of marriage as a bond between a man and a woman. Why? Because society is based on one thing: that society is based on the future of the society."
Well isn't that profound? But ok, hold, here's what he meant by the "future of society."
"And that's what? Children. Monogamous relationships. In every society, the definition of marriage has not ever to my knowledge included homosexuality. That's not to pick on homosexuality."(No, no. As you'll read below, Rick clearly thinks that homosexuality has its place, even in his own life perhaps.) It's not, you know, man on child, man on dog, or whatever the case may be. It is one thing. And when you destroy that you have a dramatic impact on the quality --"
AP: I'm sorry, I didn't think I was going to talk about "man on dog" with a United States senator, it's sort of freaking me out.
SANTORUM: And that's sort of where we are in today's world, unfortunately. The idea is that the state doesn't have rights to limit individuals' wants and passions. I disagree with that. I think we absolutely have rights because there are consequences to letting people live out whatever wants or passions they desire.
That last line is worth repeating here.
"The idea is that the state doesn't have rights to limit individuals' wants and passions. I disagree with that. I think we absolutely have rights because there are consequences to letting people live out whatever wants or passions they desire."
You bet there's consequences, but in this case it won't be the state who has "rights to limit individuals' wants and passions" (particularly Santorum's "wants and passions" - God, isn't the thought of him even having wants and passions sort of creepy. Nope it won't be the state limiting Santorum's wants and passions, it's gonna be Don (I don't give a shit how many strokes he's had) Imus.
As reported by an emailer Crooks and Liars:
Santorum: Did your wife tell you that she called me the other day?
Imus: She didn't.
Santorum: She didn't?
Imus: No, what about the autism thing?
Santorum: Well she called and the first thing she said to me was you know Suzanne Wright? I said sure and then she says, well I'd like to do a threesome.
Imus: What? (Imus stopped cold in his boots) I think she meant a conference call.
According to the emailer:
Rick was selling the Administration's line on the CIA leak/forged Niger documents and Imus sure as hell wasn't buying any of it. And when Rick realized this, he broke up the argument by suggesting that Imus's wife called him up and asked if he would participate in a threesome. It was really quite creepy.
What the hell? Was Senator Santorum trying to be funny by suggesting to Imus that his wife called him to invite him to do a threesome with her and some woman named Suzanne Wright!!! Talk about projecting your own "wants and passions!!" This really ups the ante for "Scooter" to come back from prison with at least ONE story to top that one.
I guess Rick thinks marriage ought to be between a man and a woman, but that the woman can fuck another man and another at the same time? So long as the woman isn't married to another woman, it must be ok in his book. I guess it won't be long before Rick calls Imus to say that his wife wants to do a threesome with him (Santorum) and this really cute Chocolate Lab she spotted at the Humane Society.
To his credit, Imus kind of ignored the statement and went on to totally "dis" Bill Frist
Imus: I felt bad you (Santorum) were standing behind Bill Frist who is clearly going to jail. We used to have him on, but then you know-ahh he just became so ridiculous, particularly with that Terri Schiavo thing and now with this whole stock scam-we have enough crooks on my program...
