Here's an example of just how low Rick Santorum - likely soon to be irrelevant in the race for the White House - is willing to sink.
Addressing a crowd and taking questions in the Florida Bible Belt, he experienced, not unlike John McCain four years ago, the batshit crazy ramblings of an old, misinformed Southern woman going on about Obama being a "Muslim" and an illegitimate President. And to this moment of crazy, the white, oldish, probably evangelical audience applauded and Santorum simply pandered. Instead of correcting a blatant lie, one that Santorum knows is a lie, he simply nodded. Later, he claimed that it was not his job to correct the questioner's distortion.
Here is the whole idiotic moment.
It is times like this when I truly weep for this country, wondering how we have managed to degenerate to this level of ignorance, hatred, and brazen stupidity.
