Santorum’s Campaign Really Just Made An Ad Where His Picture Is Splattered With Frothy, Brown Sludge

[Tx4obama]

This has to be on purpose, right? There’s no way that Rick Santorum’s campaign would release an official ad in which his picture is splattered with chunky brown liquid without knowing what it looked like. They totally did this on purpose. Right? Right?!

The ad I’m referring to is one released by Santorum yesterday on YouTube and entitled “Rombo.” In it, a Mitt Romney lookalike runs around a warehouse of some kind shooting at a cardboard cut out of Santorum. This is supposed to represent Romney’s “mud slinging” and, as such, Santorum’s team decided to have the fake Romney’s gun shoot mud. Or, at least, it’s supposed to be mud.

How about we compare a screen grab from the ad with a screen grab of Santorum’s least favorite website, Dan Savage’s SpreadingSantorum.com?

How could they not have known what they were doing? Savage’s site is the number one search term for “Rick Santorum” on any number of online search engines, something that, for years, people have been saying is one of the biggest problems facing the candidate’s career. And he made an ad that literally has frothy, brown stuff being flung at his own face?

3. You're right...but, I never thought of that.

I don't think Rick did either or he wouldn't have made that ad. However, other than that...it's a good ad. Poor Rick...can't wait for the media to pick that up.

4. I can't wait to see what Jon and Colbert do with it.

Should be classic
