Santorum gets major beef injection...
...from Arby's paid for by PAC.

<snip>

Arby’s, the fast-food chain specializing in roast-beef sandwiches, has been a particular favorite. Eleven Arby’s meals, totaling $118.25, were charged to the PAC -- eight of them in Dillsburg, Pennsylvania, a small town on U.S. 15 south of Harrisburg. The PAC also charged four meals at Burger King, totaling $50.36 -- three of these in Virginia or Maryland. Other meals were charged at fast-food eateries such as Wendy’s, Boston Market, Sbarro, and Papa John’s pizza.

1. Isn't it more important to note that his parents are still supporting him?

The Santorums bought their oversized Shenstone “estate” even though his financial disclosure forms since 2001 have shown little family income beyond his Senate salary, now $162,100, and he admits that life hasn’t been financially easy. The senator made a startling remark to The New York Times Magazine last spring: “We live paycheck to paycheck, absolutely.” But he explained that his parents help out. “They’re by no means wealthy -- they’re two retired VA employees -- but they’ll send a check every now and then,” he said.

the article goes on to explain how "good-government experts say the expenditures are at best unconventional, and at worst a possible violation of Senate rules, and the purchases appear to be unorthodox when compared with other senators’ filings."

:rofl:
