Santorum blows his stack at reporter in public today
by John in DC - 1/25/2006 06:56:00 PM


AMERICAblog's spies on the Hill tell us that at 4:34pm Eastern today (gotta love their precision) Senator Rick Santorum (R-PA) "totally blew his top, totally lost control" while getting off the underground train that connects the US Capitol building and the Dirksen Senate Office Builing.

It seems a reporter approached Santorum just as he got off the train and asked Santorum something to the effect of: "Can you tell me about the 'K Street Project.""

Santorum's response?
He started screaming, according to our source. "It's just a meeting!", Santorum reportedly yelled (again, in public, right near the Senate cafeteria where lots of folks are gathered). "What Harry Reid said Wednesday is a total lie!"

In fact, the K Street Project is an infamous little conspiracy that Tom Delay created back in the 1990s, and Santorum is the Senate's liaison to that little conspiracy. Thus the reason Ricky isn't too happy about being asked about it:

5. Yes, but is it creepier than passing a dead baby around at home

among your wife, yourself, and your young children?

8. When I Read That Here on DU

I felt nauscious... That tends to happen when you have the ability to actually envision such a thing in detail. The bane of being a visual person.

This guy is demonic and crazy.

2. Tension's a little high, Senator?

:evilgrin:

4. You don't suppose Little Ricky's been reading the RICO act and

maybe finding that his and DeLay's behavior vis-a-vis the K Street Project fits EXACTLY with the sort of behavior contemplated by RICO?

7. Bet his tightie-whites look like a Brown-in Bag

This is revealing.

3. I notice that whenever a Democrat says something, the repubs

immediately say their lying, especially when it's the truth. The repubs I notice, don't know what the truth is and probably couldn't even say the truth if they put it on a teleprompter. However, I don't think I've ever heard any, let alone some, Democrats actually call them liars. He say they mispoke. Need to come clean. But not liars.

6. Yup. The republican party needs to be eliminated as a party,

and the ground needs to be salted under its feet. NOW, dammit!!

9. Elizabeth Edwards has. Mentioned in another thread, her interview

at Kos.

Hackett, in Ohio, isn't exactly mincing words either, I'm glad to hear.

10. Actually...

...Newt was the father of the K street project. That is why it was so galling when he came forward a couple of weeks ago moaning about "ethics."

Pot meet kettle...
