Santorum Froths in New Hampshire: Gay Marriage Boner
Tweet
So Rick Santorum has dug himself in deeper! And also blew it as he was speaking before a crowd of college Republicans in Concord.
Today’s was one of series of rapid-fire, soon-to-be-patented “Santorum boners,” which have slipped from the candidate’s lips. On Wednesday night, he lamely tried to explain away the
make black people’s lives better by giving them somebody else’s money
comment he made in Iowa by telling John King that
In fact, I’m pretty confident I didn’t say ‘black.’ I started to say a word and sort of mumbled it and changed my thought. I don’t recall saying black. No one in that audience heard me say that.
He “started to say a word.” What word? Black? Blighted? Blowsy? Bleached? Blond? Bleary-eyed? (Oh wait, that’s a hyphenate!)
And today the ever frothy Santorum, in front of a crowd of college Republicans, drew jeers when he compared gay marriage to polygamy.
Are we saying everyone should have the right to marry? So anyone can marry anyone else? So anybody can marry several people?
There is a big difference between two people marrying, no matter what the gender combo, and polygamy. Like an extra person difference. And actually anybody can marry several people.
You just have to un-marry the current spouse first. Like Newt Gingrich.
Frothy has begun his “didn’t say that, nuh-un” media tour. Along with denying having said “black” when that is very clearly exactly what he said, he parsed his ‘man-on-dog’ comment the other day to make it seem that he was saying the ‘homosexual marriage’ (as he calls it) was NOT like man-on-dog.
Completely inverting the meaning of the words that got him in trouble with Dan Savage. Tape here.
