More on Senator "Man On Dog"

I forgot a very important piece of information about Sen. Rick Santorum the other day; he's running for re-election against Democrat Bob Casey, and he's losing, big. The Senator's not dead yet, however. A third candidate, Carl Romanelli of the Green Party, has just entered the race.

But that's not all.

Seems Mr. Romanellis' campaign is a wholly owned subsidiary of the Committee To Re-elect Pennsyvania's Senator, better known as CREEPS. (Actually, I just made that up.)

From the Philadelphia Enquirer:

Democrats say GOP is assisting Casey foe
The Green candidate refused a call to quit.

HARRISBURG - Six staffers on Sen. Rick Santorum's campaign - including an intern who tailed Democratic candidate Bob Casey Jr. in a duck costume - collected voter signatures to help place the Green Party on the fall ballot.

The intern, petitions show, collected signatures from voters in five counties in one day.

T.J. Rooney, the state Democratic Party chairman, and other Democrats disclosed details of the petition drive that they said offered further evidence of involvement from Santorum supporters to get Carl Romanelli, the Green Party's Senate candidate, on the ballot. Not only did Santorum aides help collect signatures for Romanelli, but Republicans and Santorum supporters put more than $60,000 into the petition drive.

*****

Most of the Green Party donors were Republicans, including many who contributed to Santorum's reelection campaign. Among the list were a corporate lobbyist, a former aide to U.S. Senate Majority Leader Bill Frist, and a state Republican activist.

It's clearly a stunt to hopefully draw voters away from Casey, who's got a double-digit lead in the polls.

I know this article has nothing to do with sex, but I think it illustrates the depths Senator "Family Values" will go to keep his job. Paying a Green Party candidate to whore himself isn't the worst of ditry tricks, but it's hardly morally upright behavior.



But it does explain the suit, doesn't it? And now, the junior Senator from Pennsylvania. "Thank you for that introduction. My fellow Pennsylvanians, 'It's hard out here for a pimp...'"
