Santorum's tour begins with a real blowout - Hope this is an omen
http://www.pennlive.com/newslogs/patriotnews/index.ssf?/mtlogs/penn_patriotnews/archives/2006_08.html#169402

U.S. Sen. Rick Santorum's bus tour got off to a bumpy start this morning. Santorum's campaign RV, which features pictures of him and his family, was pulled off the road after blowing a tire around 11:25 a.m.

The campaign was en route from Armstrong County to Jefferson County on U.S. Route 422 when a loud bang was heard. "I didn't know if somebody was shooting at us," said Santorum, who had just spoken at a fire company in Kittanning.

The RV was left by the roadside for repairs as Santorum and staff rode in cars to the next event.

Wonder if Ricky had to change his underwear?

1. Oh, Rick. Nobody's going to waste a bullet on you.
Get over yourself.

2. Now why is the first assumption be that someone is shooting at them?
Wouldn't your first thought be a blow out in one of the tires, a firecracker, run over something in the road? What kind of life are you leading (or campaign for that matter) that your first thought is somebody is shooting at you. Guess he takes Chucklenuts' words to be afraid to heart. He puts the chicken in chickenhawk to all new levels.

May the tire blowing out be the highlight of his day.

5. Paranoia's all the fashion among the nuts on the far right
Remember Ann Coulter whining about how she has to go around with bodyguards everywhere because her life is in danger? And how much she resents the fact that lefties are never threatened because of what they say or believe in (yeah, sure...)? It makes them feel even more important to think that they're potential targets. Fact of the matter is, right wingers are practically always the first to resort to violence.

7. It's called a martyr complex. But "Ann Coulter bodyguard"? It hurts....
So many jokes... so little time...

6. Don't laugh. He's probably going to start running as a combat veteran now.
"I've been in the trenches--the Pro-Life, Pro-Family trenches; and I'm not afraid to put my life on the line for my country. Oh, some people may say it's not cool to love your country, it's not hip and unsophisticated to sing God Bless America, just like George Washington did at the Boston Tea Party. Well, if that's not cool, then I guess I'm just not cool enough for those gay marriage advocates like Hanoi Jane Streisand, because I guess I still tear up when I see Ol' Glory flying." *sniffle, sniffle* -- "Excuse me, I just love this country so much sometimes... Oh my god, is that a plane flying overhead? I think the terrorists are trying to stop me from being elected to another term!"

Show the Terrorists that you love America. Vote for Rick Santorum.
