Supercilious Santorum: What Piece of Rhino Poop

A great piece from the Philadelphia Inquirer today on Santorum's smug, self-righteous shit. This man must really think Pennsylvanians are stupid.

Early this year, Sen. Rick Santorum commended the Dover Area School District for "attempting to teach the controversy of evolution."

But one day after a federal judge ruled that the district's policy on intelligent design was unconstitutional, Santorum said he was troubled by court testimony that showed some board members were motivated by religion in adopting the policy.

Good one Ricky. Just keep that Senate seat hustle up; it's working. Really ;).

The best feature of the PI story is this:

Rick Santorum on Intelligent Design

"Therefore, intelligent design is a legitimate scientific theory that should be taught in science classes."

- 2002 Washington Times op-ed article

•

"I'm not comfortable with intelligent design being taught in the science classroom."

- Interview in August on National Public Radio

•

"I do not believe it should be required teaching."

- Interview yesterday with The Inquirer

•

"I thought the Thomas More Law Center made a huge mistake in taking this case and in pushing this case to the extent they did."

- from Inquirer interview

While I was on the plane last week, I heard a young boy call his dad "Rhino Poop." I can't think of a more fitting insult to hurl at this big-pile-of-stink-Santorum.
