Rick Santorum Announces Candidacy To Crowd of Invisible Supporters

by Wonkette Jr.  10:59 am June 6, 2011

President of Angry Fetuses Rick Santorum announced on teevee this morning that he is also running for President of the United States. Watch out, Mittens! Santorum went on ABC News and stood in front of an empty building to deliver his message, which is about as exciting as you would imagine. Does he know how these things work? You have to tell everyone beforehand. Has Rick Santorum heard of e-mail? No, he only communicates with the aborted children in his imagination, his only real fans. Is he talking to them right now? Is that why Santorum continually refers to himself in the plural? Let’s watch this sad/hilarious video.

“We’re ready to announce that we’re going to be in this race. We’re in it to win and we’re very excited about, you know, what the — what the future holds. We’ve got a great, uh, a great team in the early primary states, we’ve got a lot of momentum.”

Does he know that there is no one else standing there? Are they his invisible aborted friends? These are Rick Santorum’s real constituents. [ABC News]

I'm offering 4-1 odds that Ricky is a furry. Anyone who obsesses with "man on dog" sex is a good bet to have a special costume hanging in the back of his closet. Rick "Animal Lover" Santorum: the frothy new face of the Republican party.

Gopherit June 6, 2011 at 11:53 am

Maybe that's why his daughter was crying. "Show us on the bear where daddy touched your bear."

horsedreamer_1 June 6, 2011 at 11:02 am

Those balloons look kind of like dicks.

ttommyunger June 6, 2011 at 11:05 am

Always thinking about something to eat!……Just kidding ;)

JustPixelz June 6, 2011 at 11:10 am

Do you mean the red, white & blue balloons in the background, or the suit-wearing balloon in front of the camera?

BlueMonkeh June 6, 2011 at 11:22 am

YES!!!

FNMA June 6, 2011 at 11:29 am

Is it me or do some of those balloons have ribs?

Swampgas_Man June 6, 2011 at 2:50 pm

For nobody's pleasure.

Callyson June 6, 2011 at 11:39 am

And they look like they are going somewhere to hide away for a while. Don't blame them.

Gopherit June 6, 2011 at 11:54 am

I bet he spent all night blowing….blowing them up.

Terry June 6, 2011 at 12:18 pm

So does the candidate.

Chillwaver June 6, 2011 at 12:32 pm

Well, think about it…you do need dicks to promote santorum, don't you? On the other hand, Rick is both a dick and an asshole, so his self-promotion abilities are limitless.

Swampgas_Man June 6, 2011 at 2:52 pm

If Santorum is both dick AND asshole, it should be possible for him to fuck himself into non-existence. Perhaps this candidacy is an experiment for that.

Biel_ze_Bubba June 6, 2011 at 1:30 pm

I see that one of them committed suicide rather than stay on camera with the guy. It was a white one, too … that can't be a good sign.

nonbeliever7 June 6, 2011 at 2:52 pm

Can you state that with certitude?

Weenus299 June 6, 2011 at 11:03 am

Santorumania has begun. Don't everybody have a public abortion just yet.

OneDollarJuana June 6, 2011 at 1:13 pm

"A chicken in every pot, a moist towlette in every pocket" (for cleaning off the santorum).

Really whipped that crowd into a froth.

Barb June 6, 2011 at 11:03 am

"Party favorite?" of what party? The pity party?

Biel_ze_Bubba June 6, 2011 at 1:24 pm

More like a party favor.
(A worthless piece of crap that you throw away at the first opportunity.)

Santorum – Bachmann?

AJWjr. June 6, 2011 at 12:28 pm

If that means Crying Daughter turns out to be Stephanie, I'm OK with it.

FlownOver June 6, 2011 at 12:48 pm

Without the occasional honesty.

RavenRant June 6, 2011 at 12:56 pm

Paul/Paul 2012!

The narrative would be adorable. Father/son, who's the top of the ticket? Start the 'reality' series now.

Make it heartwarming, throw in a few guest shots from Snooki and Dog the Bounty Hunter and whoever won Top Chef/Project Runway, and US O'Merkah would totally buy this.

V572 [SSAN] June 6, 2011 at 1:55 pm

Only if one of the Pauls had, say, half as much charisma as Dog TBH, Snooki, or whatever chef guy they've got. Which alas, they lack.

nonbeliever7 June 6, 2011 at 2:56 pm

Whatever….I predict they'll be known as "Loser/Vice-Loser" in 17 months.

Goonemeritus June 6, 2011 at 11:04 am

He certainly will sew up the frothy amalgam vote.

"we’re very excited about, you know, what the — what the future holds."

So'm I, only on the fearful side, because of the inevitibility of dickheads fucking shit up.

And what do you get when you fuck shit?

Now if only we could do the same thing for Palin.

SorosBot June 6, 2011 at 12:38 pm

She's doing a good job of it herself, making the Palin name synonymous with moron.

FlownOver June 6, 2011 at 12:51 pm

Palin (gerund): The process of turning facts into unrecognizable babble.

RavenRant June 6, 2011 at 1:02 pm

Also, turning lies/inanities into unrecognizable babble.

Redhead June 6, 2011 at 2:43 pm

So Palin = a rambling ret@rd (downs optional) who manages to turn facts, lies and everything else into unrecognizable babble.

Someone who knows more than me (and Palin), googlebomb this!

DaRooster June 6, 2011 at 11:06 am

Nice "team" you got there Ricky… "The team couldn't be here today because… well… they had to go to school."

Thank God!

Crank_Tango June 6, 2011 at 11:47 am

home skoal or gtfo!

Terry June 6, 2011 at 12:24 pm

Jaysus, that bunch of kids. You know Daddy will want them to go to Catholic colleges but institutions like Georgetown and Notre Dame wouldn't take this bunch if the family donated $100 million for each of them. They have to either go with a Fundy "school" like Oral Roberts or Liberty, or throw themselves on the mercy of an admissions department at a small, largely unknown Catholic school with a long history of significant charitable works.

HistoriCat June 6, 2011 at 4:49 pm

Bob Jones or GTFO

AJWjr. June 6, 2011 at 12:25 pm

They were warned by Lou $arah.

memzilla June 6, 2011 at 11:06 am

There are shots you can take for running Santorum.

Callyson June 6, 2011 at 11:44 am

Patrón works especially well for that problem.

Santorum Announces Candidacy To Crowd of Invisible Supporters

So he announced at the Romney Farm?

Texan_Bulldog June 6, 2011 at 11:06 am

He had to keep the announcement location secret. He didn't want to be run over by Snowbilly's bus ala poor Mittens.

KeepFnThatChicken June 6, 2011 at 11:09 am

Yeah. What's the name of Romney's farm again… "Bittersweet Despair"? "Sarah's Vineyard"?

OneDollarJuana June 6, 2011 at 1:18 pm

"Ennui Lassitude"

easybaked June 6, 2011 at 12:19 pm

It looks like he kept it secret from his supporters, too.

SorosBot June 6, 2011 at 12:35 pm

But all his supporters were there!

PabaBritannica June 6, 2011 at 11:07 am

That pressure is building up below, swelling to a bubbling mass, sticking to the American public like a white paste. It is…Santoromentum!

SayItWithWookies June 6, 2011 at 11:08 am

Wow, Santorum has so little chance of winning that he couldn't book anyone besides GMA for his announcement? That's sad. The only thing worse would be if Tim Pawlenty announces he's running on the Piers Morgan show.

finallyhappy June 6, 2011 at 12:05 pm

I don't really understand how Piers Morgan got a "news" show. I never heard of him until that talent show-and I only saw that because of the You Tubes of Susan- whatever her name was.

SayItWithWookies June 6, 2011 at 12:13 pm

It's a mystery. I saw him interview Ricky Gervais after he hosted the Golden Globes and made fun of many of the attendees as a comedian/host might be expected to do. Morgan kept pressing Gervais to say he had crossed the line with a few people and insinuating that he had offended people but was completely unable to name anyone specifically. He's just not able to evoke interesting ideas out of his subjects either — it's like being interviewed by a slow, boring, uptight great-aunt.

x111e7thst June 6, 2011 at 11:08 am

OkieDokieDog June 6, 2011 at 11:08 am

He's about as exciting as a mayonnaise and white bread sandwich.

Who's that pouty kid up there in the little pic? Is that his daughter? Is she crying because she wasn't aborted? Or maybe because she wants one of those aborted fetuses in a jar? Or maybe just crying because all the kids at school call her Frothy Lube?

DaRooster June 6, 2011 at 12:16 pm

I love to hate that freakin' picture… when I first saw it I thought it was from an SNL sketch. Between her and the brainwashed ones in back… one happy fuckin' place that home is huh? Poor kids.

Jukesgrrl June 7, 2011 at 1:27 am

Those kids don't go to school. They go to skool at hom.

I'm putting another toilet planter in the front yard and naming it "Ricky."

Yes to that.

The mister and I need to replace the last of several old thrones. Wish I could put it out front with a "Sarah's History Repository" nameplate (damn convenants).

DaRooster June 6, 2011 at 11:59 am

But is the lube OK for plants?

I LOVE those toilet planters, how can I get me one?

Today we are all Santorum!

mavenmaven June 6, 2011 at 11:10 am

I think the bursting ballon at 3:09 is an apt poetic metaphor of this sad campaign.

Texan_Bulldog June 6, 2011 at 11:14 am

Ha ha. It's bad when watching the woman fixing the balloon decorations was more interesting than anything Ricky was babbling about.

FidoMcCokefiend June 6, 2011 at 11:21 am

I would pay $5000 retroactively to have seen Ricky dive to the ground shrieking like a little girl, with someone in the background screaming "GUN GUN" when that balloon popped. DAMMMITSOMUCH

LiveToServeYa June 6, 2011 at 1:03 pm

His bubble burst even before it was formed.

Let his froth-based initiatives flow like wine!11!!

What the hell is up with his new poofy hair? It does NOT help.

weejee June 6, 2011 at 11:11 am

Is he campaigning for Paul Ryan or himself?

EatsBabyDingos June 6, 2011 at 11:12 am

Stole his campaign theme from Disney's High School Musical (or one of the other urpy peppy movies-they all bland together like the G.O.P.). He'll come in 9th in Iowa after "Dorcas the Cow."

neiltheblaze June 6, 2011 at 11:12 am

There's no way I'm watching this dumb clod be embarrassing for four and a half solid minutes. I'm at work and I don't want to subject my poor, unsuspecting colleagues to the hazardous levels of stupid falling insensibly from this man's mouth.

For another thing, I don't give a damn about this dumb fuckface.

The future holds pictures of your children crying in public when you throw in the towel on another failed election bid.

GortRay June 6, 2011 at 11:14 am

Santorum! It's a floor wax AND a dessert topping!

Chillwaver June 6, 2011 at 11:14 am

He's a fiscal conservative for sure. After all, he won't even pay some hobos to hold the flags in the background.

JustPixelz June 6, 2011 at 11:15 am

News from the future: President Rick Santorum sent Seal Taam Six to attack a Planned Parenthood office in Sacramento today. He proclaimed the mission a success, saying "We will not rest until terrorism of family planning is but a memory." Supreme Court Justice Ginny Thomas said the President's actions were "110% Constitutional".

ifthethunderdontgetya June 6, 2011 at 11:25 am

Vice President Camacho and Attorney General Sarah Palin agreed, and jointly² announced a bounty on Planned Parenthood workers.

² They were sharing a joint.

If it is, you're doing it wrong.

Just for shits and giggles, the next Republican debate should be centered on American history and the Constitution. The debate will go on until the first candidate sites Ronald Regan as the drafter of the Bill of Rights.

My butt farting in a mud puddle has a better message than Mr. Santorum. My butt says "I'm a hideous gas bag full of farts." And Mr. Santorum's message says "I'm a hideous gas bag full of farts." The difference? My butt works for free.

Even his own weiner-balloon wall (wtf?) didn't stick around for the entirety of that speech. And if Rick Santorum can't control his own campaign decor, how can we trust him to protect us from Al Qaeda?

Oblios_Cap June 6, 2011 at 11:48 am

I still love that Addam's Family picture. Rick could learn a few things about personality from Gomez.

Do you normally use two hands?

slamtundra June 6, 2011 at 2:37 pm

Perhaps Sr./Sra BTFlagass meant one hand, no dick. But this is a very good question at which I am still laughing.

Monsieur_Grumpe June 6, 2011 at 11:53 am

I think the world owes Dan Savage many thanks for ruining any chance of Rick ever getting taken seriously again.

finallyhappy June 6, 2011 at 12:14 pm

When Bob Casey ran against this moron, Dan Savage sent the maximum contribution to Casey but it was returned because of Savage's definition of Santorum,

Terry June 6, 2011 at 12:31 pm

No, Rick did that himself. Savage just made it more entertaining.

DaSandman June 6, 2011 at 11:55 am

Just read about this new sex game / perversion called corn dogging and it confused and revolted even me.

Seems like its a new Repug sex practice combining their favorite things. Ten year old albino Southern boys, pharmacutical grade animal stimulants, billy goats, Jeebus, corn dogs and lots and lots of Santorum.

Party!

Redhead June 6, 2011 at 12:02 pm

"we’re very excited about, you know, what the — what the future holds."

Here's a taste of your future, Santorum – go find the Daily Show clip where Jon Stewart tells people to go google your name and makes fun of the results. Hit play. Hit play again. Hit play again. Hit play again. Hit play again. Hit play again. Hit play again. Hit play again…

smitallica June 6, 2011 at 12:05 pm

Spoiler alert, Rick:

You don't have a fucking chance.

But I'll bet my bottom dollar he gets the chance to address the Republican convention in prime time — and he'll consider that a win.

In other news, Lisa Edelstein won't be coming back as Cuddy to the new season of House. Which means the field is wide-open for House and Wilson to finally get it on. All roads lead to santorum.

Can we keep the fanfic in RNC newsletters, where it belongs? ;)

axmxz June 6, 2011 at 12:48 pm

Why should RNC get all the frothy beige-tinted fun?

zappadoo76 June 6, 2011 at 12:44 pm

That pic of Rick with his unaborted fetuses sends a heartwrenching message. They all look miserable, not just the little girl with the doll. "Why, why," they ask, "didn't you abort us, Daddy? Now we have to be bit-players in your futile campaigns for public office."

donner_froh June 6, 2011 at 12:46 pm

Yet another punching bag joins the line-up.

anniegetyerfun June 6, 2011 at 12:46 pm

As someone with an imperfect face, I certainly don't mean to throw glass houses at piles of rocks or anything, but it weird to me how Rick's nose seems to point in one direction and his chin in another.

poncho_pilot June 6, 2011 at 1:19 pm

i'd never noticed that. it's very disconcerting. part of his face is trying to distance itself from his mouth.

orygoon June 6, 2011 at 12:52 pm

"Party favorite runs for president"? This is the last person I'd hope to see at a party, Gawd Almighty.

SmutBoffin June 6, 2011 at 12:54 pm

"…and we're rolling out a new campaign slogan for our Iowa tour! 'Santorum: Coming to your backyard'.

Try and make fun of that, libunatics!"

LiveToServeYa June 6, 2011 at 1:00 pm

Amazing. A man with his head up his ass gargling himself.

SheriffRoscoe June 6, 2011 at 1:04 pm

Shorter Santorum: The problem with the Ryan medicare plan is that seniors prefer a more distilled, concentrated version of the idea. Yeah Rick. You run with that.

ifthethunderdontgetya June 6, 2011 at 1:04 pm

Lookout!

RIcky's got some bible-thumping competition in the buttsechs metaphor department:

Governor Goodhair: “there is hope for America… and we will find it on our knees.”

Limeylizzie June 6, 2011 at 1:05 pm

OT, Breitbart says he has more and "iconic" pictures of Anthony Weiner from a woman who had a "consensual onlne sexual relatonship "with him . I have one of those with several Wonketeers, no pics, however.

Sharkey June 6, 2011 at 1:26 pm

Someone needs to explain to Breitbart that chatroulette does not constitute "consensual online sexual relationship". Also that "Anthony Weiner" is a common screenname.

One_who_wanders June 6, 2011 at 1:32 pm

What? Are you trying to ruin his "social life?"

RavenRant June 6, 2011 at 1:28 pm

And yet, we still have no iconic video of Not-So-Breitbart being a drunken lout.

No Peace/No Justice!

RavenRant June 6, 2011 at 1:20 pm

Now, that would be heartwarming.

GOPCrusher June 6, 2011 at 1:21 pm

At least Rick Santorum is in better shape than Romney. Bible Spice could have shown up in Pittsburgh and told everyone how Penn and Teller invented Pennsyvania.

northernbassist June 6, 2011 at 1:24 pm

BoingBoing.net linked to Stephanopoulos's blog re: the announcement this way:

"News leaked out this morning on George's Bottom Line."

Who says geeks aren't funny?

OneDollarJuana June 6, 2011 at 1:33 pm

Someone educate me here. I don't get why these people who obviously have no chance at all of winning the nomination, let alone the election, are entering the ring. Can it only be delusion and ego, or is there some kind of money scam going on? In Trump's case it was easy to see that it was just hype for his TV show, but how about these others? And it can't be big money, otherwise Huckleberry wouldn't have kept his day job. Am I missing something?

GOPCrusher June 6, 2011 at 2:59 pm

Some people choose to act on what the voices in their head tells them to do.

GunToting[Redacted] June 6, 2011 at 3:20 pm

See, Huck HAS a day job. For Ricky, it's like the billboards you see when you drive through Indian Casino country. REO Speedwagon knows they have no chance of winning a Grammy, but they're still out there with .38 Special.

I am actually very excited about all the ass-based alliteration the future holds.

puravidavid June 6, 2011 at 2:04 pm

Only in it for the money. He'll figure a way to launder campaign contributions from his flock into personal expenses. He's certainly not in it for the power he won't get.

dr_giraud June 6, 2011 at 2:19 pm

He needs a chorus line of aborted fetuses crooning behind him. Think of the "Prom Night Dumpster Baby" number from Family Guy.

Gleem_McShineys June 6, 2011 at 2:29 pm

There's only one way this whole thing might work out for you, Ricky … if America actually gets tired of poop jokes. I know, right?

So as an unofficial campaign manager, I suggest you start beating them to the punch.

Look, let's face it, you're kind of a creepy dude. If a sack of weird such as yourself started hitting people with obvious buttsex jokes, it'd freak everybody out so much, they'd lose interest in doing it themselves. Seriously, Rick. Start making frothy mix comments.

Start by calling yourself Senator Smoothie, and talk about whipping up a lot of support. Then look directly into the camera for an uncomfortably long period with your patented creeper grin, and say "That was an anal sex joke, everyone! Smoothies! Whipping up? Frothy!! Get it?!"

That should put everyone off of their little jokes. Out-gross America! YOU CAN DO IT!

RavenRant June 6, 2011 at 2:50 pm

This could end sex as we know it in America. Every variation.

Lascauxcaveman June 6, 2011 at 2:35 pm

If he writes an article about Rick's early campaigning in Iowa, Ohio, MI and and IN, he can play it straight-faced with a headline like "Santorum Covers The Midwest."

pastafarian_guy June 6, 2011 at 2:37 pm

Major visual symbolism at the 1:56-2:05 mark. The hideous ballon-wall just couldn't withstand the wind from all that BS flowing out of his little santorum-maker. Watch it crumble just like his hopes for the party nomination soon will.

Subject Change Alert: Check the new Breitbart pix on Weiner and ask how that skinny runt suddenly has Arnie-style muscles and a dick that would make Rick Santorum scream with pleasure pain.

easybaked June 6, 2011 at 4:29 pm

Santorum alternative election slogans:

"There are two Americas – they both need Santorum in them"
"Corn-packers for Santorum"
"Real America loves Santorum"
"Rick Santorum – God is inside him"
"This time, vote like your Santorum depended on it"
"Rick Santorum – on his knees for America's voters"
"Santorum – sticking with America"
"Santorum – the ingredient that America is missing"
"The White House needs Santorum in it."

JackObin June 6, 2011 at 5:53 pm

Give Republicans full marks for promoting the mentally challenged. I'm just curious, will they in fact promote a candidate with a functioning brain?

krazyvladimir June 6, 2011 at 8:16 pm

Santorum ????? Don't remember him……… I've got to Google him.
