Bush Adviser Worries About Santorum Bid


Former Bush adviser Mark McKinnon says a presidential bid by former Sen. Rick Santorum (R-PA) is a scary prospect.

"Santorum represents, in my view, much of what is wrong the in the Republican Party. While I disagree with him on some fundamental issues, I am much more concerned with his lack of character."

And then there is this little known tidbit: "I'm a pretty tolerant guy, but beyond his ideology, some of Santorum's behavior is just a little bizarre. For example, Santorum has six children. In 1996, he had son born prematurely who lived for only two hours. He and wife brought the child home and introduced the dead infant to the rest of their children as 'your brother Gabriel' and slept with the body overnight."

2. I welcome a Santorum bid along with Palin and any other nut they have

because they represent what the real republican party looks like today.

3. This alone

could stifle his bid, although having his name used to define the messy aftermath of anal sex isn't going to help either (Type "Santorum" into Google and see what the first search result is. Thanks Dan Savage!).

4. McKinnon seems a decent guy

what he was doing as a Bush advisor, I don't know.

5. Lack of character is a deal breaker in the GOP.

This from a Bush supporter. The mind reels.

6. Haha! Yea, that's pretty funny when you think about it. nt

7. Another violation of St. Ronnie's 11th commandment

For shame, Mr. McKinnon: Speaking ill of another Republican. Actually, the "Baby Gabriel" story has been around for a while. Didn't seem to hurt Mr. Santorum too much at the time, or really since. Santorum finally got booted because he's such a sanctimonious prick.

But "lack of character" coming from somebody who served any president named Bush has to hurt.
