Santorum's Canine Fetish

[donsu]

http://thinkprogress.org/index.php?p=255

What’s with Sen. Rick Santorum’s obsession with talking about men and dogs? This morning, he’s quoted in the New York Times as saying the president is “like a pit bull and he’s got a pair of trousers in his mouth and he’s not going to let go.” It’s a weird metaphor, even before you remember his argument against allowing gays to marry. Last year, Santorum equated homosexuality with, er, an unnatural love for your pets. He said he didn’t just oppose marriage for homosexuals, he also opposed it for “you know…man on dog, or whatever the case may be.” Note to the senator - if you don’t want to end up banned from next year’s Westminster Kennel Club show, it might be time to retire the creepy dog metaphors.

I call all bloggers and all other concerned citizens to dig up dirt on Santorum… I’m sure this man isn’t shooting straight. Let’s do a Gannon-like investigation. It’ll be fun, but the most satisfaction will come from his defeat in PA… Please help us get rid of this praetorian!

Yeah, he’s the #3 Rep leader in the Senate and has presidential ambitions. In 2000 he won his seat by 6 % points–a landslide according to him. But, he’s target #1 in 2006 for us! Let’s send this dog to the pound!

1. being a wimp

Being one of those air-dried, groomed, normal looking rightwing crazies, I guess Santorum is looking for attackdog metaphors anywhere he can find them .. and applying them in that particularly unctious, slathering way he has.

So pukemaking.
