Yes, Rick Santorum, your sugar daddy really said that (Brian Losness/Reuters)
Rick Santorum
is frustrated that his "supporter" Foster Friess made a "stupid joke" that people are actually paying attention to. He
told the
National Review that the furor over Friess was "crap."
“You know, [reporters] sit there and they say nothing, while for 20 years [President Obama] sits in a church with a guy who is a racist,” Santorum says. “And somehow or another Foster Friess is now who I am? This is just crap.”
Okay, try to ignore the fact that he says the national media ignored Rev. Jeremiah Wright. He apparently wasn't living in the same America as the rest of us during the 2008 campaign.
Foster Friess might not be who Rick Santorum is, but that doesn't matter. Because Foster Friess owns Rick Santorum. There would be no Rick Santorum for President campaign if not for Friess. There would be no $652,000 ad buy in Michigan without Friess.
And if by some convulsion of the universe Rick Santorum became president, Friess sure as hell won't let him forget how he got there.
