      I bet Rick doesn't really much care, just as long as Mitt still wants to tap him.

    I heard Mitt Romney is so boring that his Secret Service code name is "Mitt Romney".

    • Barb

      I saw his poolside picture and his secret service name should be "Newt Gingrich".

      And I think you do…

        Well, that's a relief.

      • MissTaken

        And time spent looking for it is better spent shooting guns and watching football.

        • SorosBot

          Exactly. All this talk of guys (and lesbians) pleasing their women might give the little wifeys the idea that they're supposed to enjoy sex instead of just lying back passively to let their husband shoot his seed in them; so we can't have that.

          Rick's afraid that someone might tell Karen that liberal men will actually do things with their tongue on a woman, a thought which makes him nauseous.

      I think Ron Paul would make a perfect Secretary of Government is Bad Therefore I Want to be Part of Government Agency.

      The GBTWPA has the very important job of proving that government sucks by appointing people who suck at governing.

    • Steverino247

      Because he remains so flat, no one can see him lying there?

    • http://www.gurukalehuru.wordpress.com gurukalehuru

      I agree. Without Ron Paul and Newt Gingrich there would be no humor left in the race, none at all, just boring speechification about nothing from now until November.

  • Come here a minute

    Rick willl get one of those harmless, do-nothing diplomatic assignments to a sexxxy foreign hotspot. Ambassador Santorum, the United States' man in the Vatican.

    • SayItWithWookies

      He should head the Venice consulate, so they would know him as "The man in the boat."

    Romney is so happy about this he is firing 1/2 of his staff.

    After all the nice things Rick said about Mitt during the primaries, I'm guessing he'll be lucky to be named Deputy Assistant Undersecretary to White House Pastor Rick Warren.

    The only Department Santorum should be the head of is one of the three Departments Mittens eliminates.

    For the record, I cannot recall them, but neither can Mittens.

    When Rick Santorum thinks about gay sex, he wants to throw up. If he talks about gay sex as much as he thinks about gay sex, then he wants to throw up more than my cat, who throws up a lot (cats throw up all the time)

    Rick Santorum throws up more than cats throw up.
