Oh, let me guess - Santorum meant to say Obama was near.

Considering Santorum's previous record of attacking women and gays en masse, demanding that Puerto Ricans speak English if they want to be a state, and accusing black people of being lazy welfare leeches (excuse me, "blah" people), his latest gaffe is surprising only in that it was caught on tape before an audience

Hmmm, maybe he was paraphrasing Olson Johnson who was paraphrasing Gabby Johnson when Olson Johnson said: "The sheriff is near..."

( from the ragingly not PC "Blazing Saddles")

BAHAHAHAHAHAHA! okay, that should not have been funny, but cut me some slack: I love Blazing Saddles!

[ashley_pitt]

Slacks are cut...size 32/32.

The whole thing would be funny, if the some of the people weren't soo scary

[ladyana5]

Abso-freakin'-lutely. These are some seriously frightening times for everyone, unless you are rich and white (and male). _sigh_

[gardnerhill]

The Blazing Saddles reference is exactly why I used that word in the subject line. From the moment Obama won the election, the entire GOP has been acting like the outraged white citizens of Rock Ridge.

Isn't that where the choo-choo is going?

Mongo only pawn in game of life.

Indeed they are, those citizens.
