Morning Joke's lead story today: Santorum's anti-contraception comments.

Apparently some old interviews are making the rounds on the Internets showing Santorum saying things like contraception is "not ok", "not good", "not natural".

This could take Rickie down. Even conservatives find this attitude a bit too extreme.

of personally possessing a complete set of female organs, he will be qualified to render an opinion.
Until then, he is heartily invited to STFU.

that show). He pointed out that these repubs were essentially ignoring women as if they didn't exist in the electorate. that is a simple truth.

Mika was back on her knees today, talking about how she "respects" Rick's personal beliefs, blah blah blah. Saying he has a right to his beliefs is self evident and when do they give THAT much to Dems without then going on to blasting them. She didn't say one word about his extremism. No, it was all about her being respectful of his beliefs and then NADA...

Willie is a conservative republican. Mika may be registered as a Dem but she's a DINO as is Mike Barnicle.

The show is just a FAUX & Friends wannabe.
