The Square Circuit

Academia, parenthood, living in a bankrupt city, and what I read in the process.

Santorum, on Casey's support for Plan B, on MEET THE PRESS:

"I think his father would be very upset if, if he were alive today and, and heard him be supportive of something like this."

Wow. Remember how self-righteous the Republicans got about John Edwards mentioning Mary Cheney's lesbianism in the vice-presidential debate? Lynne called it "a cheap and tawdry political trick. . . . The only thing I can conclude is he's not a good man. I'm speaking as a mom." But I guess it's okay to say YOUR DEAD FATHER WOULD BE ASHAMED OF YOU.

On the bright side, the POST-GAZETTE is now really laying into Santorum, "Pennsylvania's own nonresident peddler of nontruths."

The TRIBUNE-REVIEW, on the other hand, offers up my absolute favorite reason to vote for Santorum: because he runs ads.

"The next time some local liberals yak about Sen. Rick Santorum being bad for the economy, commend for their attention this little factoid: The Penn Hills Republican's campaign for re-election has pumped nearly $680,000 into the coffers of local television station/cable system coffers since July 1."

    thanks for clarifying--as my wife points out, many on the "pro-life" side are intentionally obfuscating the distinction between Plan B, the morning-after pill, and abortion. However, muddying the waters has been Santorum's modus operandi during this entire campaign.
