If this repressed idiot
Should win what a pity it
Would signal that we’re certifiable
Might we then be condoning
Slave owning and stoning?
After all, they’re okay in Rick’s bible
And let’s not forget folks who are “smart”
Rick says they’re “Satanic” at heart
And the “elites” who’ve been taught
By these “smart” folk are fraught
With evil, hell bound in handcart
So be wary of those who pious fingers wag
While quoting their prayer books
And waving the flag.
Ayatollah Santorum
How the morons adore ‘im
He’s the new “great white hope” of the nutters
Cares not what leaves his trap
Long as Fox news will yap
About whatever this Taliban utters
Sex is dirty to Ricky
Just uses his dickie
Procreating for God’s greater glory
Nothing more in it
Than mount, pump one minute
Deposit, dismount, end of story
As a freak show none’s better
Than this freak in a sweater
And the religious right nutballs who adore ‘im
And Will Rogers I’d note
Would’ve never uttered his quote
If he’d but once met our boy Rick Santorum
He’s cold, calculating
Knows just who he’s baiting
And just who he hopes he can reel in
He’s making this noise
For the crowd who enjoys
That hate-filled fundamentalist feelin’
And who is this crowd
These folks who are wowed
By the “facts” from Rush Limbaugh and Hannity
To judge by their vicious
Tea bag malicious –
Ness, they’ve lost the thread of humanity
And Rick knows what he’s doin’
Out pandering to ‘em
For airtime like Coulter or Rush
Like them his gums flap
He delivers that crap
Hoping he pulls the big royal flush.
Yes Rick – I suspect
Knows that president-elect
Is out and this is his audition
So he’s delivering shocks
Bringing viewers to Fox
Lookin’ to land his dream Fox News position
And it’s easy to conceive
And to grant he believes
His rhetorical shtick’s doin’ the trick
And in his fever dream nights
There’s his name up in lights
“New – The Fox News Hour with Rick”

Barking In The Dark 
I hope he’s more interested in a show than a presidency for all the reasons you’ve just cited. Another great piece of work about the ongoing race to the right.

Didn’t need to click on the Will rogers quote, knew exactly which quote you were referring to heh.
Tony you are my hero.
Between you and Don it’s cut my research time on the Internet way down.
Keep them coming my friend. Stick it to the fear mongers, cretins and born again Christians who will do anything to gain power… and will do nothing for our country or citizens.
Bravo as always my friend

Maybe Santorum will get a reality tv show like Palin did and we can all NOT watch. That would be fun.

Pretty sure the first paragraph is wrong – the fact that he’s gotten this far is already proof that a large segment of our population is certifiable.
Other than that, it’s another masterful piece!
