Former Pennsylvania Senator Rick Santorum has once again shown he has his finger on the pulse of the American public. You remember Rick. He was apparently going to be Senator for life until he faced a real political opponent in 2006, Bob Casey, Jr., who shellacked him by 18 percentage points.
Now, Rick, who seems to be running for President, has struck again. He's criticizing Pres. Obama for supporting the pro-democracy protesters who recently drove Egypt's strongman Hosni Mubarak from office after thirty years of virtual dictatorship. In the fun-house mirror world of Rick and his soul mate Glenn Beck, we need to prop up every tinpot dictator on the off chance that they might support some US foreign policy objective while repressing democracy.
Most of us saw the spirit of 1776 in the streets of Cairo and Alexandria recently. Rick and Glenn saw a looming threat to one of their dictator buds.
Good luck with your populist Presidential campaign, Rick. It looks like you've recaptured the spirit that caused you to suffer the largest defeat by an incumbent Senator in a generation.
