1. Santorum seems to appear too often on cable news. [imo]

[ProfessorGAC]

4. According To Wiki. . .

. . .he works for CNN. He's apparently their go-to for the "both sides get a fair say" concept. It says they hired him in January of 2017. That might explain why he is on so much, and far too often.

[empedocles]

6. Ah, thanks. Wish they would thoroughly rebut him every time.

Seems that some [or many?] conservatives don't appear on CNN/MSNBC because they don't like rebuttals. Perhaps Santorum is hired to endure the rebuttals, and to be a sometimes punching bag to fuel the 'dialogues'?

[empedocles]

7. Impressed by your Wiki research, I just found that Santorum is still in the Urban Dictinary.

[My earlier comment on 'rebut' not intended to relate to this post - accidental [though possibly unconscious Freudian]

9. I Saw That Too

If anyone deserves to have their name turned into a pejorative, it's Ricky-boy

[Achilleaze]

2. Hypocrisy is the republican WAY

Their moral compass is compromised & corrupted with russian mob money.

[PCIntern]

3. He looks like he's had some plastic surgery

“Procedures”. I’m certain God Himself told him to have these done in order to promulgate His Word more effectively.

[JI7]

5. the entire shitty party needs to be called out

yes, it's obvious but throw it in their face.

they attack gay kids but defend a perverted old sexually assaulting piece of shit.

[Perseus]

8. Why do they continue to invite Santorum to these shows?

He brings no value to any conversation, he is constantly applying for a position in trump's administration trying to brown nose his way in.

[ProfessorGAC]

10. See Above

Per Wiki, he works for CNN

[Bernardo de La Paz]

11. Santorum is just a frothy mixture. No real substance, no fiber, no backbone. . . . nt

[watoos]

13. He's also a crook,

It's why he lost his reelection bid for the Senate in Pennsylvania.

He home schooled his kids, took the money from Pa. but was living in another state, home schooled them in another state which is illegal. Then he tried to lie about it. He's another religious phony.

[Freedomofspeech]

19. He was from our area...

Took money from a poor school district. I cannot stand the bastard.

[roscoeroscoe]

14. He's kind of leftovers at this point

If you know what I mean...

[lame54]

24. I'll challenge the fiber part...

there may have been bran muffins involved

[GWC58]

12. Always remember, never forget

IOIYAAR, but not for Democrats. Fucking, big time, HYPOCRITES! Hey Rick, hows that dog doing, by the way? Oh, by the way, 🖕🏻,ASSWIPE!

[Bernardo de La Paz]

15. Keep Republican & Trump brands glued welded and rivetted together. They made him & chose him. . . nt

[GWC58]

16. 👍🏻

[Soxfan58]

17. Just showing the great hypocracy

Of the religious right.

[LittleGirl]

18. I really wished he'd cross the line

so that he would get fired from CNN. Someone please taunt him. I'm sick to death of that guy.

[Paladin]

20. Always gratifying to see Santorum taking a licking. (nt)

[calimary]

21. THANK YOU.

Morality? With CONS like him it’s more accurately and truthfully Morality My Ass.

Anybody remember the holier-than-thou put-down that almost every republi-CON used, constantly, to describe Bill Clinton? “Situational ethics”?

Well here he stands. Santorum is exactly the kind of CON who embodies that insult. It’s as much a part of him as that sanctimonious smirk that overtakes his face every time the camera turns to him.

He’s more than earned that rather unsavory definition that you get when you google “santorum.”

[George II]

22. Toobin has been criticized by some that he was too "republican" over the years. I never saw that...

….but in the last few months he's become very outspoken and critical of trump and the republicans. He's been in confrontations yesterday more and more - I saw this one "live", it was great!

I've always liked him, much more lately.

Santorum, on the other hand, has been a snake for a long time, trying to seem "objective" but in the course of his appearances he shows his true colors.

23. Morality is something the 'other' lacks... the single mother, the person of color, non-heterosexual

There is an assumption that when you are a rich straight white male (Full disclosure: I'm 3 out of the 4, not rich), you are automatically of good moral standing.

They can't say it out loud... so they just say everyone else is immoral. Rick Santorum is one of the loudest speakers of this mindset.

And sometimes Rick lets it slip...
