SANTORUM SPREADS FURTHER: Many who

SANTORUM SPREADS FURTHER: Many who watched the State of the Union address the other night noticed that Rick Santorum, who is the Senate Majority Whip, walked into the chamber directly behind President Bush. And later, when Bush started talking about gay marriage, the camera panned over to Pennsylvania's junior senator.
Now, due to the senator's latest, Savage Love-inspired connotation, his appearance on the broadcast gave many viewers a chuckle- including this guy, who called me upon his first appearance.
But that was nothing compared to a passage in National Journal's "The Hotline" newsletter (subscription required), about Mr. Santorum's criticism of his senate colleague, presidential candidate John Edwards. The item is headlined "Scathed by Santorum," and quotes the work of a local newspaper reporter- who, it so happens, is a member of my blogroll, though I'm not saying which member. The piece ends with an Edwards spokesman stating that he "wasn't surprised Santorum was all over Edwards."
Of all those people- the Hotline editors, the blogger/reporter, and the Edwards flack- at least one of them has to know the real meaning of "Santorum," right?
