5. If he admits the affair, as well as lying about it, and yet he has

presented himself as someone committed to family values, then he is a proven hyprocrite and liar. Why would 25% of the people vote for someone like that to represent their interests?

17. Don't Forget. Jon Stewart is Spreading Santorum on The Daily Show Tonight

My guess is his Director of Communications, "Gay Bobby," is deliberately trying to sabotage Santorum by telling him it's a good idea to go on The Daily Show.

Senator's new chapter of political risk
By Carrie Budoff
Inquirer Staff Writer

<snip>

And there he was Friday, on the first day of a publicity tour - which will bring him to bookstores in the coming weeks, as well as scheduled appearances on the Today show and The Daily Show with Jon Stewart tomorrow - talking up his ideas and shooing aside any suggestion that he was making trouble for himself.

"My staff {Gay Bobby} says I take a political risk every time I open my mouth and say what is on my mind," Santorum quipped, after signing copies at a suburban Pittsburgh bookstore.

Even so, he added, "my opponent has plenty of ad material. And, you know, I gave them a little more. Nobody has enough money to run all the stuff they'd like to run against me. So my feeling is, I don't worry about it."

His willingness to unload his thoughts comes as no surprise to supporters. But the timing has left some political pragmatists wondering, particularly now as he rebounds from a spate of critical publicity, most notably for his leading role in Congress to prevent the death of Terri Schiavo.

"The frankness with which he lays out his beliefs is sometimes difficult to deal with, with some of my people," said George Bochetto, a Philadelphia lawyer who raises money for Santorum in Southeastern Pennsylvania. "It is going to be tougher and tougher to raise money."

Santorum rebuts book criticism
Senator also stands by his controversial remarks about Boston's sexual abuse scandal
Saturday, July 23, 2005
By James O'Toole, Pittsburgh Post-Gazette

<snip>

On Monday, the senator is scheduled to appear on the "Today" show, Fox News and, perhaps most improbably, "The Daily Show," with Jon Stewart, on Comedy Central.

Yesterday, at a taping of "KD/PG Sunday Edition," Santorum rebutted early criticism of the book, said that it pointed out the failures of both liberalism and conservatives in addressing poverty and expressed confidence in his re-election prospects for next year.

<snip>

On other subjects during the program, which will air at 11:30 tomorrow morning on KDKA-TV, Santorum criticized the Penn Hills school board for appealing a decision that the district could not recover tuition money paid for Santorum's children to attend a cyber charter school.
