Dobson makes surprise appearance at Santorum event

CNN's Adam Aigner-Treworgy

Colorado Springs, Colorado (CNN) -– Often seen as the candidate best-equipped to appeal to social conservatives, Rick Santorum tried to capitalize on that reputation by welcoming special guest James Dobson on stage with him Wednesday night for a one-on-one conversation.

After delivering a pointed version of his stump speech before a crowd of more than 1,200 people at Mr. Biggs Family Funhouse here, Santorum introduced Dobson, the head of the conservative group Focus on the Family.

Dobson, who endorsed Santorum in January, made the point that he was at the event “as a private individual,” and this disclaimer may have allowed him to be a bit more candid.

“It would appear to me that Mitt Romney is not a conservative,” Dobson said to much applause. “And Newt Gingrich is not – well I don’t know what he is. You’re the only true conservative in the race.

4. Never mind Santorum... I had to see what "Mr Biggs Family Funhouse " is.

It turns out the place is symbolic of Santorum's campaign. According to this review it's rundown, on it's last legs, and a total waste of money:

Even the official website is a joke with Mr Biggs, who I'm sure has a windowless white van, recycling outdated ebonic phrases not seen since the genesis of My Space:

It puzzles me because this would be like a candidate making rally appearance at Chuckie Cheese. Who booked this gig? Off the Hook!!

5. Dobson is a child psychologist.

Not a "reverend." No theological degree.

But child psychology opened doors among "christians," bigots, haters and repigs.

Yes, I know I was redundant. Sue me.

6. Psychologist?

Not sure about that one. Maybe after reading what he has written about beating children, "abuser" would be a better word. Maybe after reading what he has written about how to shower with boys, the word "Sandusky" comes to mind. Maybe like college catalogs do, the word "abnormal" should be inserted before psychologist in his case.
