Santorum is challenging Mitt...

...for weirdest tone-deaf statement of the week.

Santorum To Voter: I Like Vacationing In Place You Moved To Because Of Poverty


At the Huckabee forum a voter asks Santorum what as President he could do to help people like her, and goes on to outline her situation. Four years ago her husband lost his job. They’ve run through their IRA. They’ve run through most of their 401k. They moved from their large house in the north of the state to a smaller house in the south of the state where it’s cheaper.

Santorum starts his answer by noting that she and her husband “have moved to a beautiful part of the country.”

“My wife and I love vacationing here,” he continues, before going on to outline his desire to ramp up the American manufacturing industry.

The gorgeous waterfront mansions, the cotton plantations, the Spanish Moss hanging from the trees in the moonlight to the far-off sounds of negro spirituals... ah to dream of taking this country back to the way things should be.
