Life after the Senate for Santorum.

By John J. Miller

Rick Santorum has gone from junior senator to senior fellow: As of today, the Pennsylvania Republican is an employee of the Ethics and Public Policy Center, a Washington-based think tank. “I want to contribute to the world of ideas,” he says.

1. What's that, a euphemism for "Intolerant Assholes Seeking Universal Conformity Center?" - n/t

[Norquist Nemesis]

2. "...Santorum joins a roster of established conservative thinkers..."

"At EPPC, Santorum joins a roster of established conservative thinkers, such as president M. Edward Whelan III (a contributor to NRO’s Bench Memos) and papal biographer George Weigel. Two other recent EPPC hires are Stanley Kurtz (an NRO regular) and Yuval Levin, who most recently served in the Bush administration."

Note that is a small "c". :rofl:

14. Conservatives think?

Who knew?

3. Maybe he can start by investigating himself.

:shrug:

[Sydnie]

4. At least now he can give up the foolish sham about where he

actually lives! It will save PA lots of money. They won't have to cyber educate his kids anymore.

[gratuitous]

5. What?! He's not going back to Pennsylvania?

Won't his family miss him?

[derby378]

6. "Islamic fascism," Venezuela, North Korea, and Russia

They're all on his little list. What, no PNAC?

7. While this may seem silly, those guys are serious and are funded

from the link:

How will a former senator adjust to life at a think tank? “This is a very impressive group of folks who share my worldview more than any other group in town,” says Santorum. “We’re going to have a lot of synergy. I know that I’m not the foremost scholar in the world, but I can offer a lot of ideas and help put together a communications strategy to describe the threats we face. Communication is a big problem, as the results of the elections in November show.”

Santorum plans to organize lectures and conferences, write articles, and work on a book. (His book agent is Kathy Lubbers, who is Newt Gingrich’s daughter.) “We expect to be very, very active,” he says. One of his focal points will be religious liberty and how people of faith might confront radical Islam.

we wanted to be candid about the fact that America really does have enemies and to point out that the nature of these enemies is much more complex than what people realize. It’s not just Islamic fascism, but also Venezuela, North Korea, and, increasingly in my opinion, Russia.”

9. Burning question: Will he work to prevent "man on dog" love in these

Enemy countries?

[Norquist Nemesis]

10. About that 'religious liberty' confronting radical Islam

Maybe they should also look into radical Christianity. Not holding my breath, though.

8. But, we, the world, aren't interested in your ideas, Ricky.

11. PPPSSSST Rick

You did contribute. That's what got you canned.
HAHA BWAHAHA:puke: :crazy: :nopity: :spank: :nuke:

[brentspeak]

12. Former Sen. Bob Kerrey: "Santorum -- that's Latin for 'a$$hole'"

[Atman]

13. This kind of thinking always baffles me...

"Mr. Santorum, we see that your constituents turned on you, and ran you out of town by a huge margin. Apparently your ideas weren't very popular...would you like to come work for us and help set policy?"

:crazy:

15. kick

:kick:

[underpants]

16. Hmm wouldn't you know it Hannity had a "Enemies of the State" segment

on his new solo Fox News show on Sunday

I'm sure that is just a coincidence... :eyes:

[LeftishBrit]

17. “I want to contribute to the world of ideas" - BWAHAHAHAHA!!!

You need a brain for that!

Somehow he does seem to have landed his ideal job, though - being paid to obsess about 'Enemies'.
