Rick Santorum had only been in the senate for a few weeks when Bob Kerrey, then Senator from Nebraska, pegged him. "Santorum, that's Latin for asshole." It was probably the funniest line the grim Kerrey ever uttered and it was on the mark, too.
Such a stew of sleazy self-righteousness and audacious stupidity has not been seen in the senate since the days of Steve Symms, the celebrated moron from Idaho. In 1998, investigative reporter Ken Silverstein fingered Santorum as the dumbest member of congress in a story for The Progressive. Considering the competition, that's an achievement of considerable distinction.

the jerk is running for president... go visit KP for some commentary that we have over there.
no different than now?
Santorum is toast.
Kerry and Santorum--twins in the larger picture. Both are controlled by the Global Corporatists as are all U.S. senators and reps.
And these two are as "corporate" as it gets, regardless of Iraqnam.
