When you're so desperate for gravitas that you
deliver a foreign policy speech at a jelly bean store because you want people to see you as Ronald Reagan ...
Republican presidential candidate Rick Santorum (R-Pa.) will deliver an address on foreign policy Thursday afternoon at the headquarters of Jelly Belly Candy Company in Fairfield, Calif.
The choice of venue is an homage to Ronald Reagan, whose fondness for the candies was well known. Reagan, who famously kept a jar of the candies on his desk in the Oval Office, regularly received Jelly Belly shipments during his tenure as California governor and even sent the first jelly beans into space on the 1983 Challenger shuttle.
... then you must be a Republican candidate for president in 2012, because I can't think of any other sort of person that would be that dumb.
