Santorum Implodes: "It's Bullsh*t"

Rick Santorum had a very, very, very bad day:

In directing what appeared to be a new level of vitriol toward Mitt Romney, Rick Santorum on Sunday described his rival as “the worst Republican in the country to put up against Barack Obama.” Santorum later, however, bristled at the notion that he was referring to anything other than Romney’s position on health care.

After a rally at the South Hills Country Club here, Santorum asked Republicans to “pick any other Republican in the country” than GOP presidential front-runner Romney, based on issues that make the former Massachusetts governor “uniquely disqualified” to run against Obama.

Reporters swarmed him for clarification, only to have Santorum testily reply that it was unreasonable to take his comment outside the context of health care.

This is a typical politician response; they say something they know will come back to bite them and then claim it was taken out of context. Sometimes they can pull it off, but in this case Rick did nothing but make the matter worse:

Pressed further, Santorum clarified that he meant Romney was the worst candidate “to run against Barack Obama on the issue of health care, because he fashioned the blueprint. I’ve been saying it in every speech. Quit distorting our words. If I see it [in print], it’s bull(expletive). C’mon man, what are you doing?”

What a potty mouth! The man who wants to clean up porn and what we see on the TV breaks out one of the infamous seven words in front of the cameras.

There has been a lot of predictions that the primary race will go on until the convention. I’m not so sure now. I’ve got a feeling that if this story gets enough play Santorum might not end up winning another state. I just wonder if Ricky will hold a presser to apologize and blame it on the devil taken hold of him temporarily?
