Former Sen. Rick Santorum (R-PA) took a shot at Texas Gov. Rick Perry during Monday night’s GOP presidential debate in response to a question about how Republican candidates were attracting Latino voters.

He fumbled.

“What what Gov. Perry has done is he provided in-state tuition for illegal immigrants, maybe that was an attempt to attract illegal vote — I mean Latino — voters,” Santorum said.

“You attract Latino voters by talking about the importance of immigration in this country,” Santorum said. “We are a melting pot, not a salad bowl, and we need to continue that tradition.”

1. You sure can toss the salad, Santorum...

with frothy dressing no less!

2. That's either one helluva Freudian slip

or he is flaunting his contempt for Latinos, pandering to the teabaggers. Either way, I won't miss Li'l Ricky Sanctimonium when he soon slides back into oblivion.

3. As slimy as Santorum is

(you can even Google that fact!), his slide to oblivion is commencing as we discuss it. :spray:

4. He actually says"'Legal vote - I mean Latino"

but it's equally disgusting, because of the premise that motivated him to associate the two.

Forgot to put his lips to the dog whistle or something.
