Folks, we might as well accept it now: Rick Santorum will be the next president of the United States

[Adenoid_Hynkel]

He'll be pretty much unstoppable, now that he's won the all powerful endorsement of Pat Boone:

"I am excited to endorse Rick Santorum for President. I've known Rick for many years and Rick has been a consistent defender of conservatism and the values our great nation was founded upon,” Boone said in a statement provided by the Santorum campaign on Sunday.

Comparing the former senator to Ronald Reagan, the 77-year-old singer said Santorum is “experienced, honest, and deeply principled.”

Santorum was originally supposed be endorsed by an African-American artist, but the record label sent Pat instead, so that it would sell better to a white audience.

Aint that a shame?

3. The downfall of America did not start

with the assassination of JFK, or with the Vietnam War, or with Ronald Reagan.

The downfall of America started when Pat Boone was allowed to sing "Good Golly Miss Molly" and it charted higher than the Little Richard version.

8. !!!!!

Or the downward slide may have begun when he wrote "Twixt Twelve and Twenty"-- hailed as the new bible for America's teens!

I'm old enough to remember how his "magnum opus" was touted by religious leaders of all stripes.

12. Who the hell is Pat Boone and why do we care who he endorses?

Actually I know who he is. He was a white singer who tried to sing black music but it didn't quite work so the powers that be had Elvis do it.

[SaintPete]

15. Actually, a significant entertainer

from his Wiki page:

According to Billboard, Boone was the second biggest charting artist of the late 1950s, behind only Elvis Presley but ahead of Ricky Nelson and The Platters, and was ranked at No. 9—behind The Rolling Stones and Paul McCartney but ahead of artists such as Aretha Franklin and The Beach Boys—in its listing of the Top 100 Top 40 Artists 1955-1995.[1] Boone still holds the Billboard record for spending 220 consecutive weeks on the charts with one or more songs each week.

Not my kinda music, but he sure as hell was someone's kinda music.

And obviously, he's a wingnut, politically.

13. "Pat Boone takes time out of his gold investment shilling to endorse frothing fool...
