Sen. Sanitarium: "Bush and media to blame for war unpopularity"
Edited on Sat Nov-12-05 10:08 PM by Bluebear
Even this asshat is putting miles between him and his Master. Won't work, Ricky, but fun to watch!

(AP) PHILADELPHIA Sen. Rick Santorum took a rare swing at President Bush, saying the war in Iraq has been less than optimal and that some blame for that lies with the White House.

Santorum, a conservative Republican and usually a strong Bush ally, said the unpopularity of the war should be shared between the White House and the media.

“Certainly, mistakes were made,” Santorum said of the war’s conduct. “But that’s a criticism you can make of every conflict.”

The comments, made after a Veterans Day speech at the Union League in Philadelphia on Friday, came at the same time the Pennsylvania senator stressed he wasn’t trying to distance himself from the president, who spoke moments earlier about 80 miles away at the Tobyhanna Army Depot.

Santitorium -- you're goose is cooked, pal. Enjoy the ride while you can because it is about to come to an abrupt halt.

7. Card-carrying member of the "Not Ready for Crime Time Players"
This guy's a slobbering idiot, as well as a fundy crackpot. Does he have no survival skills? He certainly hasn't a scruple to his name, but this is disloyal as well as ragingly stupid and desperate.
