Why is the terrible liberal media forcing Rick Santorum to yell swears at them by repeating his words back to him and asking about them? WHYYYYYY?
Because they are the liberal media, duh. They could no more stop forcing Rick Santorum to yell rude swears at them by repeating his words and asking questions about them, than they could stop being terrorists. It’s just who they are. And that is why Rick Santorum told Jeff Zeleny of The New York Times to stop distorting his words, it is ********! (The word is “bullshit.”) Seriously, you gotta see this perfect koan of a CBS video, in which they show Santorum’s words, Zeleny asking about them, and Santorum freaking out, lyinnnnnng, and then clearly having to talk himself down from just cold delivering a physical beatdown on poor Zeleny, after the jump. But is there whining? THERE IS THAT TOO!

That 3 am telephone call, Ricky, it's coming from INSIDE THE HOUSE!
I remember that movie, Dial M For Moran.
Bastard's unhinged from someone asking him a question.
"Ricky, this is God calling. STFU already. No, really. I only wanted you to run for President for the good laughs you would give us, but now your time is done. Go back to Virginia and let the grown ups take over now. And stop saying that your attempt to enforce your sexual hangups in public policies is some kind of religious issue."
I figured it would coming from inside his head.
Bullshit? Horseshit! Tough shit.
I never imagined the day I'd see bullshit coming out of a candy-ass
Well to be fair crybaby, (to bring out that tired old Wingnut trope) you do it too.
Two Santorum posts in a row. The minute I got up I knew this morning was going to be full of shit.
mixed with lube?
looks like someone received Cheney's old non-heart-heart.
The transplant is the first heart Cheney has ever had.
Stenography – the only acceptable form of reporting.
If we allow reporters to ask questions, why – they might ask questions! This, of course, is communism. And baby murder.
The First Amendment doesn't give people the right to ask mean questions.
But the 2nd amendment gives us the right to shoot journalists, in self-defense. Especially if we feel threatened by their questions.
Even if they're not wearing hoodies and/or carrying Skittles?
Especially if they're not wearing hoodies! It's just like Obama taking away our guns by not taking away our guns.
And buttsecks. Delicious, delicious buttsecks.
HIs daughter's face says all you need to know about what usually happens when Daddy adopts that tone.
Did she drop her American Girl doll? Is that why she ducked?
At 1:42 she tries to calm him down a bit, but he just shakes his head defiantly and goes on.
I'm surprised he didn't say "Shut up, bitch, I'm talking here!"
First the baby jesus cries, and then ricky has to put a quarter in the jar for the fund to visit the creation museum.
The stress has become too much. He should just quit and go spend more time with his wife, kids and fetus jars.
Is that a frozen santorum cone?
This will not play well in Obamaville.
"The media is distorting what I am saying" = "The media is quoting me verbatim."
Ricky, Ricky… remember your Orwell. It takes at least a day for your old words to reach the memory hole at the Ministry of Truth.
It's not just Rick. There's a big section of the GOP base who actually believes that quoting a GOP candidate verbatim is a gotcha question.
They hang out at the Conservatives For Palin website.
I see where Nate Thurm will be hired on as an image consultant shortly.
Two demoralizing Santorum posts, obliterated by the hilarious presence of Nathan Thurm (and his cigarette), and Irving "Bouncy C" Cohen!
Thanks!
Dalton Trumbo called…
Santorum just has not been right since the anal leakage caused him to lose his mind.
This is bad news for Dairy Queen.
You leave Michele Bachmann out of this!
HEY HEY HEY. She's from MN, not WI.
You mean Marcus Bachmann.
No one knows about s#!% the way Santorum does!
Look at those fucking eyes. This guy is seriously crazy.
Well, you know, Republicans.
DON'T look at those eyes.
What have you done to his eyes? You MANIACS!
Didn't even have to look at his face. Seriously, who goes through life with a last name that means the resulting substance of lube and anal sex? I mean, that right there leads you to believe that the man is mentally unhinged.
Someone please tell me that the woman in the blue dress isn't the same daughter who was shown crying in the plaid dress back when Santorum lost his senate seat. Because I can't fap to the video if that's the case.
I hate to break it to you, but then you'll just shout "bullshit" anyway.
Well, who is the worst Republican? …All of them, Katie!
Santorum is in the tank for….I dunno but for god's sake will someone empty the tank!
Just flush it.
Why does the truth hate Rick Santorum???????
The truth wanted to be part of the in-crowd.
Many, many reasons.
I still can't decide if AstroGlide® should sue Santorum or hire him as their spokesman. On the one hand, ick. On the other hand, Google™ rank!
OK, at about 1.13 he looks mentally ill ,as that eye furthest away from the camera gets really open and frozen in hate.
If he's ever in a room with Michelle Bachmann, it will be an overwhelming singularity of hate-sanity.
I see you have bleached all the Republican debates from last year out of your brain.
Isn't that what we've all been trying to do?
Stroke!
The people behind him look like people who are on the subway, (express train), and a nutjob just cold starts going off. You're just a captive audience and you can't get away, can't look away, and hope the nutjob doesn't boil over. They look just like that.
Oddly, those nutjobs are usually witnessing for the Lord, too.
Where's George Zimmerman when you need him?
Correction: At that point, he looks more noticeably mentally ill than he normally looks.
True.
Needs moar hoodies.
This is why Santorum should start using a teleprompter.
Would interfere with his channeling direct ordres from heaven.
I was thinking he should start using Valium.
His using the word "Bullshit" means I can openly, and frequently, call him a Catholic Cunt, right?
Yes.
Oh goody!
You can call him a fucking papist cunt, too.
Aren't you almost obligated to?
Scratch that….
Aren't you obligated to?
A liar needs a good memory, but hey–if we are gonna start holding these candidates to their words, it will get messy.
Fecally frothy. Less filling too, also.
The CBS guy is such a dick to him, as he should be. "You sound upset about something."
Beautiful.
I liked the stop-smoking ad at the beginning with the dying lady getting a sponge bath.
With a contraceptive sponge!
Even I can't fap to that.
Then he walked half way around the world while the NYTimes was putting its boots on.
Excellent.
I see what you did there.
He just flat-out loses it whenever he's not wearing a sweater vest.
It's like his own little Thundershirt.®
Dang – I wish I'd had one of those during all those repuublican debates.
Oooh! That's a great idea. I may need one on election night.
Whoa!!!!!
What's with the bracelets he is wearing????
Isn't that kind of, dare I say it, gay?
Santorum gay? No! No, no, no!! We don't want him! WE DON'T WANT HIM!!!
On the other hand, Hugh Jackman…
Live Blog alert! http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/2012/mar/26/supre…
Let's all run over there and say "HI" to Jim, maybe leave a comment! I bet he'd really like that.
"Ms. Carender said she received health insurance through her job, but that if the bill was allowed to stand, she said she would drop the policy in protest.
“I am not going to trade my health for my freedom,” she said."
re: the new Cain ad linked over there…
Yes, I have a question: WTF?
So now, quoting shit they actually say is a "gotcha question". Gotcha.
When you're an idiot, they're ALL "gotcha" questions.
‘Any Ad Which Quotes What I Said On Sunday Is A Falsehood’
As always, when your looking for bullshit you gotta start with Newt.
From the same story, found on msnbc.com:
"In an earlier rally in Fond du Lac, WI, Santorum drew an overflow crowd."
Well duh, msnbc — I'd join a crowd of oglers too if I thought I could see a politician's head spin from steam whistling out of his ears! Also, overflow from santorum, ew.
It's Fondy-the fascists are thick in those parts, Oshkosh, Appleton et environs. Between them and Waukesha you have the thick moneybelt of Wisconsin Republicans. The counties beyond those in the southeast and Fox valley that vote republican are bumpkin country, stump jumpers, and sisterbreeding specialists.
Circus World Museum… Truth?
…and then the petard exploded, sending Santorum flying onto various walls. Of course, it was his own petard … for great justice. The guy to the right looks like he's having to smother a laugh at the beginning.
Can we still say "petard"?
The poor petards can't help what they are.
Mr. Potty Mouth is needs to get his mouth washed out with __________________.
I wish Rick Santorum would beat me up…
Man, do I wish.
B.S., M.S., Ph.D.: Bullshit, More Shit, Piled Higher and Deeper.
Was the "oath" he uttered the "If You Quote Me It Didn't Happen" reverse-swear, perfected by rival Gingrich?
I think it was more, "If I see it, it's bullshit" oath, thusly redacting previous unspoke claim.
Keep digging that hole Ricky. Probably upset that he's left his special love sock in the drawer at home.
Ahhh, you know who else misses his "special love sock"???
Mick Foley?
"Follow up question Mr Santorum" the reporter then asked if…" that Bull Shit contained a frothy mixture of lube and fecal matter"?
At which point Rick's exploded.
Game, Set, match.
Fuckin' Media.
Is that Guy Smiley introducing the clip? He seriously needs a face lift!
Until now, I was pretty sure that Frothy was going to be the nominee. This changes everything.
No, no, Newt will be the nominee–he said so.
The reporter must not have seen the "Don't Tease The Ferret" sign.
Fuching Ferrets.
Frothy Ferret.
Nice marmot!
I don't think America is ready for a cursing President.
Harry Truman and Tricky Dick Nixon wish to point out that this is absolute fucking cock-assed bullshit.
LBJ adds that you should lick his bung-hole.
It's a big fucking deal!
It's not such a big fucking deal, is it?
To be precise, that was the vice president, who is a major league asshole and should go fuck himself.
Yea! We curse out our Presidents! We don't expect them to curse back!
Quand ce sujet sera fini? Je vous en prie.
Aussitôt.
[Pourquoi si formelle? Nous, les Canadiens tutoyer presque toujours.].
As a Canadian you must be a native speaker, whereas I "adopted" the language during school years.
"Je vous en prie" was the expression my memory summoned first. I would say it was the "more familiar" construction of word choice, but therein results multiple meanings of "familiar" ['tu' vs. 'vous'] and I risk muddling my intended connotation all over again!
That girl looks so traumatized.
Well, damn it, I am going to have to sort of defend the frothmeister here a little–there really is a difference between calling Romney "the worst Republican" and calling him "the worst Republican to run against Obama, particularly on the issue of health care."
Qualifying phrases matter. If they didn't then we would have to be nauseated by ALL kinds of frothy mixtures, not merely the ones that are composed of lube and fecal matter, which are sometimes the byproduct of anal sex.
On the other hand, completely losing your shit when you're asked the question is kind of, you know, not especially Presidential. Grow up, ya pissy little whiner.
Lucky for Santorum, the WORST Republican still running is Gingrich.
FDR once said "Democracy cannot succeed…" What a communist. Why did we elect him for 3 terms? Wait, what? there is more to that quote and I deliberately stopped half way through in order to try and provoke a response and drum up some news?
As much as I hate Santorum, I kinda get his rage. This reporter should know better than to pull that amateur crap, and I am kinda glad ol' brown and frothy called him out on it.
He said what the reporter quoted word for word "Romney is the worst Republican in the country to put up against Obama." He may have said it in the context of Romneycare, but the message is clear. It's a low and idiotic thing to say.
Frothy's trying to have it both ways there, Radar:
"Romney is the WORST Republican in the COUNTRY, pause, to put up against Obama"
"You said that Romney was the worst Republican in the cou–"
"AHHH TH' LIB'RUL MEDIA IS TWISTING MY WORDS!"
Also he totally has that Produce Pete whine going on there.
so is there more to the quote than is in the online video?
If he can't manage turn that question into something benign he's truly limited as a public speaker or negotiator.
Q: "You said that Mitt Romney is the worst Republican in the country. Is that true?"
A: Yes. In the context of Obamacare, I believe that to be true.
Why jump the shark?
Real Republicans don't do that. Real Republicans use every opportunity to attack the New York Times, home of flaming liberals like Judith Miller and Ross Douthat. It's surprising Frothy let the guy finish his question.
"Asking that question shows you don't care at all about the truth"
Because everybody knows that if you care about the truth, you never ask questions…
Rick Santorum is the whiniest, most sniveling, bitchy little girl in the country…when talking to Jeff Zeleny of the New York Times.
Santorum loses his shit. There's something very meta about that.
Can you blame him? Even the Lord, in the book of John, said, "Get the fuck out of My face, you Me-damned Pharisees!"
He did, however, get the whining part right.
When the south gets word of his little potty-mouth, they will now feel a pang of buyer's remorse. This campaign just got cool.
not at all. bullshit is nothing. in fact, he'll be a hero for standing up to that damned member of the elitist media.
i kid you not. that's spunk, too, and round here there ain't nothin' more manworthy than spunk. "that took some real spunk!"
frothed up spunk. heh!!
I think the daughter is blinking in morse code. "Save me, please, for the love of God, someone save me."
Being asked about the bullshit comming out of his mouth and calling those questions bullshit….very clever.
You kiss your dead baby with that mouth?
har!!
big one.
Fetal corpse libel!
Beautiful.
That is COTD quality shit right there.
Agreed on COTD. Sweet.
What a stupid thing to lose your shit over. He turned a defensible attack on Romney into an opportunity to look like a grade school teacher having a nervous breakdown.
Thank you , grade school teacher is precisely accurate. Immediately thought of the stuttering teacher in " the Sixth sense" .
"Say hello to my little friend."
These "gotcha" questions have got to stop.
Little Ricky is going to blow a gasket!
(Is that reporter chewing gum? Dude!)
He's gonna blow something. I was thinking more on the lines of a goat, than a gasket.
Nothing has shaken my faith in the Romney campaign more than their inability to reduce Santorum to a whimpering, Muskie-esque puddle of tears. Because how hard could it be.
Muskie libel! Edmund wept at the toll the media scrutiny was taking on his wife's health. Ricky* is just chagrined that the media scrutiny of his poorly framed speechifying is taking a toll on his credibility as a viable nominee.
—–
*Maybe it's just me, but what I see coming across in Santorum's display of defensiveness — even though he's practicing Catholic & all — reminds me of nothing so much as the type of lay minister who's emerged from being 'prayed over' with the cautionary "There are vipers who'll throw themselves across your path, and wolves in sheeps clothing" evangelical tripe — stepping in his own filth, then painting the reporters pointing at his shoes as the scapegoats.
Yeah… suck on that chocolate stick… suck on it, stick it deep in yer mouth, yeah. You like it, dontcha? Huh? Say you like it, beotch. Say it!
Politics would be so much simpler if journalists would just quit asking questions.
A cynic might suggest that Assjuice was just looking for an opportunity to be seen bravely yelling at a member of the Liberal Media.
A true cynic would think "and it'll probably work".
A strategy now known as "Pulling a Christie."
It works so well for Newt. Somewhere Gingrich is working up a self-righteous indignation about Santorum stealing his shtick.
it will play very well, very well indeed, in the southern bastions of asshattery.
already has.
i hear things.
Ricky the carnivorous pony.
If you have ever seen Tom Cruise get really mad, he gets the same look in his eyes. Whats going on is they are trying to telepathically murder someone. Cruise is, well, lets say he suffers from "the mental condition which shall not be named," and as a result, he believes all the shit they told him about the magic powers he has as an Operating Thetan Level VII, and when he gets mad at an interviewer, you can actually see him focusing his stare on the guy and trying to hex him. Clearly, Rick is doing the same thing here. I don't know what magic powers Opus Dei Catholics are supposed to have, but they must be like OT VII Scientologists, and they can hex vexatious reporters.
One might say Santorum was so angry he was "Frothing at the mouth"…. eww.
My hope rests on the chance that at least one of his kids hasn't drunk the Kool-Aid and there'll be a "Daddy Dearest" expose that'll leave Rick so isolated future conservative candidates won't want him even sweeping up after their appearance stops.
But I'm such a ridiculous optimist.
If the liberal media would stop asking Ricky about what he said and report on what he wished he had said if he wasn't such an idiot, all of this could be avoided.
That picture made me gag on my coffee, HA!
Oh my god he is freaking crazy, he is ready to explode. Jesus better take this lunatic soon.
Well…..at least he didn't call it Santorum….
Hint to Frothy: with an internet name like you have, it would best to stay away from food that looks like what it does and people with iPhone cameras.
He will just go to confession and everything will be okay again.
How about a warning that you're about to see an amputated toe?
West coast oatmeal does not approve.
You want a toe? I can get you a toe.
With green nail polish?
Romney aides got it right…for once. #Tantorum
"What are you guys in the business of doing–reporting the truth?"
Frothy, you are a moran. Truth.
Now that a WH contender can speak like a comedian, can we please elect Doug Stanhope? How about Eddie Izzard or Ricky Gervais? No, wait… they're British.
*scoff* not like it matters. Fuck a birth certificate! Amirite, Barry?!
TPM has interesting updates:
http://2012.talkingpointsmemo.com/2012/03/santoru…
Apparently The Ferret's entire campaign is now based on defining who is a "Real Republican" and who is "The Worst Republican":
And he's trying to fundraise off the shit, also:
Are there any photographs of Santorum not giving blow jobs to food and foreign objects?
Well, I'm SO glad Santorum is able to respond to criticism (real or imaginary) in a professional, mature and rational manner, without resorting to childish temper tantrums and name calling. This certainly bodes well for his ability to handle criticism and adversity in office.
waaa waaa!! bitchy little baby… It was a setup question and Rick took a deep deep bite all the way to the back of his throat…
and while Rick has said some time that Willard is weak on healthcare. the last speach left out healthcare and just said he was the worst R to run.. period.
anyway.. Sanctorum's time is running out. time for .. Herman cain videos!!
"I mean, what are you guys in the business of doing?" he needs to ask the news team.
Does this mean Rick has to go to confession to say "sorry jeebus for saying cow poopie"? What happens when the priest makes a move thinking only an unsuspecting young altar boy would wear a dork-ass sweater vest like that???? Watch out Rick….
What is it about his face that makes it so punchable? The forehead? It's like someone took Bob Saget's face and injected it with a giant syringe of Prissy Bitch.
I see that, but here I really see Steve Carell's whine.
His face gets more and more punchable as the campaign goes on. He is swollen with self righteous grandiosity.
When Santorum said that Mitt Romney was the worst Republican in the country, he actually meant Mitt Romney was the worst Republican in the country!
See there goes the liberal media again distorting his words into exactly what he said a few minutes ago!
"Are you here to report the truth, or to spin things?"
"Actually, I'm here because my editor was so pissed off with me that ordered me, let me check my notes to get it right, yeah here it is, quote … to go cover that asswipe Santorum."
I'm not sure I want to live in a world where you can be asked about something you said.
Remember (way back in 2008) when we all thought McCain/Palin were the crazies in the GOP?
He really loves putting stuff in his mouth. Might I suggest a gag next?
Perhaps the Liberal Elites could find something to Cram Down His Throat
I don't know why Ricky's tongue hates him so much, but it really must have been bad…We will see this bit of un-Presidential video again…..and again…..I'll wager.
Actually, it's a trick question. In fact, they are all the worst Republicans to run against Obama. Each one worse than the other.
Romney is the worst because he represents the Republican wing with an unalloyed greed for both money and power at any cost.
Gingrich is the worst because he represents the Republican wing with absolutely no morals whatsoever.
Paul is the worst because he represents the Randian, libertarian, racist, misguided youth wing of the Republican party. And he has two first names.
Santorum is the worst because he represents the Republicans who just cold hate everyone who isn't
like thema pasty sweater-vest-wearing creep.Well, that's it. I'm never having one of those frosty freeze cones again.
Ricky has so many sterling qualities, but I think the whiny baby routine is his best. Seriously, he reminds me of a 4 year old (apologies to all 4 year olds). His family probably thinks its perfectly normal for a grown man to act like that. Imagine him having one of his whiny fits in the Oval Office…
But I don't WANT them to use birth control! (stamps foot and sobs). Mr. DeMint, make them stop!
I did enjoy the way the reporter refused to engage the hostility, and just let Taliban Rick reveal his inner ugliness (which was frankly no big secret to those who have a discerning eye). I do so hate that man.
santorum's becoming something like an angry chatty cathy.
just pull the string.
jump aside.
Tricky Ricky with his tighty whities in a wad, again. Of course, later today his spin managers will be quietly walking back the comments about Romoney and the NYT.
Actually I have a lot of sympathy for Santorum. His brain is continually trying to reconcile his "beliefs" and reality – the cognitive dissonance must be very distracting.
How to do well in the Republican primary:
1. Say something extremely stupid (preferably racist as well).
2. Bitch and cry about the "liberal media distorting your words" by exactly quoting the full statement in context
3. ????
4. Grift profit!
They really live by that car insurance rule to not admit fault. All these larfs would've dissapated if they said things like, " I misspoke saying Obama was better than Romney", "I meant avoid to look threatening when I said Hoodies are to blame", "Sorry, I said to speak English when you so clearly do already, my bad."
Yet another example of avoiding an apology or admitting to flub. I couldn't state this and be funny at the same time, so fuck it.
Wow. Does he kiss his Jesus with that mouth?
How utterly charming.
Santorum suffers from the same weakness as do Palin, Gingrich, Bachmann, Cain, and other tea party brown-nosing political lightweights:
He regards any reporter or interviewer who has the temerity to hold him accountable for his previously stated positions to be a bullying, biased member of a left-wing conspiracy, and he views any question for which is unwilling or unable to provide an honest, substantive question to be a "gotcha" question.
In short, these political lightweights feel that members of the news media should act as though they are working for their public relations departments, only asking them the questions that they want to be asked.
Santorum has defended his outburst with a snarky little response to the effect that every self-respecting Republican politician has cussed out a reporter now and then.
So according to Righteous Rick, it is a Republican rite of passage to treat journalists (or non-fawning constituents) with contempt.
