Boston Strikes Back At Santorum: Romney, Menino Slap Santorum Who Now Says Priest Scandal Is MIT's FaultIn response to Boston Globe columnist
Bryan McGrory's request that Rick Santorum explain his view that Boston is to blame for the Catholic priest sex scandal, Santorum's office said "It's an open secret that you have Harvard University and MIT that tend to tilt to the left in terms of academic biases," said Robert Traynham, Santorum's aide. ''I think that's what the senator was speaking to."
McGrory then asked Massachusetts GOP Governor Mitt Romney about Santorum's view and got this response: "What happened with the church sex abuse scandal was a tragedy, but it had nothing to do with geography or the culture of Boston. What we know now is that the sex abuse was occurring around the country and around the world. Boston was just the first to find out about it."
