BWAHAHAHAHAAAA! Andrea Mitchell: "Santorum off the campaign trail, on a five-day holiday"

[Amerigo Vespucci]

"Will he be back? Is he on vacation or gone for good?"

The LAST thing a guy in Frothy Rick's situation...if he's SERIOUS about "winning," which is an impossibility in his case...should do is "take a five-day holiday."

[unblock]

1. poor guy. what's he to do, work on these holy days? i feel sorry for him.

NOT.

[Blue Owl]

2. Over hill, over dale, Rick will leave a frothy trail

As his campaign goes rolling along...

[Happyhippychick]

13. Shit, thanks a whole lot. Now this is stuck in my head and it's hilarious.

[edgineered]

3. Obvious strategy; McCain took a few days for work in '08 - this is the opposite! nt

[DCKit]

6. Same thing, but Ricky doesn't have a job to go to.

He should'a said something about "spending more time with the family". At least that would have polled well with the quiverfull folks "Oooooh, they's off makin' another young-un!"

[AtomicKitten]

4. 5-day holiday? What a snob!

[pinboy3niner]

5. It started as...

...a three hour cruise. A threeeee hooouuur cruise.

[Whisp]

7. haha! n/t

8. Santorum Meets Conservatives to Pressure Gingrich to Exit.

'A group of conservative leaders met with Rick Santorum on Thursday to consider how to persuade Newt Gingrich to drop out of the Republican presidential nominating contest.

The conservative leaders met with Mr. Santorum and his top aides in northern Virginia as Mr. Santorum himself faces questions about the viability of his campaign. The conservative leaders sought the meeting, according to people familiar with it.'

No holiday.

10. "Put Neidermeyer on it. He's a sneaky little shit, just like you, right?"

OR...

"Everything I need to know about Rick Santorum I learned from Animal House."

[bullwinkle428]

9. I wonder if he used Gingrich's travel agent?

[gratuitous]

12. Or Governor Sanford's?

Will we hear about Ricky Sweater Vest leaving the campaign trail for the Appalachian Trail?

And, no, I don't want to think about the quality of woman who would consider having an affair with Mr. Santorum.

11. It was scheduled long ago--after all, it's Easter!

[Amerigo Vespucci]

15. Probably figured he'd be taking victory laps by now...

...instead of spewing "go team go" platitudes about it being "halftime."

[Tom Ripley]

14. He's probably having to do some weird self-flagellation shit as required by Opus Dei
