Rick freaks on "This Week"

Rick had himself a little freak out on ABC's "This Week." As George Stephanopoulos pressed him on answers regarding his recent statements about working moms and the clergy sex abuse scandal, Rick became extremely flustered and started to raise his voice, stammer and fumble for answers. He also had a bit of a wild look in his eyes for a few minutes there.

Here are 4 clips from today's show:



In the first clip, Rick says he would support a constitutional amendment banning abortion.

In clip #2, Rick claims that Gloria Steinem has turned society against stay-at-home moms. He also demonstrates just how well he knows those "radical feminists" that he babbles about ad nauseum.  C'mon Rick, you can only name one feminist?  And Gloria Steinem hasn't been considered a radical for well over 30 years.  At least make an effort if you're going to try to back up your ridiculous arguments. The freak out begins.

In clip #3, George challenges Rick on his assertion that in 2002, when he made his original remarks blaming Boston for clergy sexual abuse, Boston was the "epicenter" of the scandal.  Rick, confronted with actual facts, has a bit of a problem defending himself. The freak out is in full effect.

In the final clip, Rick still can't seem to make up his mind about running for President. He definitely won't run, unless, of course, he will.  But he's sure that he won't be campaigning all over the country.  Wow Rick, thanks for the straight answer.

Boy, if Ricky gets this flustered talking to Wimp-out George he's got some problems. Rick is a certified theocrat whack-job that won't be happy until Christanity is THE state religion. He wants women to become breeding stock (keep 'em at home, pregnant, and subservant), use pregnancy as a punishment, and get rid of the intellectial, liberal, elite (it's ok if your intellectial, conservative elite like litte Ricky). I doubt if any Democrat can unseat him so he will be able to spew his hate speech disguised as political discourse.

The act has worn thin for Senator Rick. His "performance" on the usually Republican-friendly ABC was full of gaffes.

Here in PA, we've just about had enough of the Republican Robot. All Rick has left on his side are the fundy morons who think the Earth is flat and that they are on the bus to Heaven, while the rest of us rot in Hell.

If there is a Hell, see you there Rick.

It's amazing that Bob Casey, Jr. is leading Santorum in the polls, but then again it's a lesser of two evils. Casey is a pro-life Democrat just like his daddy, and unfortunately thinks he's entitled to whatever office he wants because of who is daddy was.

Think, though now he realizes he's gonna have to work a little bit to get rid of Rick.

This next year's election is gonna be fun.

These stories would seem to contradict little Ricky.

the only utterly shocking thing about this to me is that it took an entire week of TV interviews before the melt down. but you know Ricky couldn't stand being in the presence of someone who worked for the evil Clinton -- even if it was the normally mild-mannered Stephanopoulos (who actually does know a thing or two about religion, among other things). it made all the connections melt.

I love the sentence in Clip Three when little Ricky tries to say "sexual mores" and instead says, "sexual morays". Better watch out for those eels, those morays look suspiciously like penises, and you know how Republicans freak out about phallic objects. If you didn't catch the comment it's at 0:57 in the Windows Media Clip, I'm assuming that it's in the same place in the Quicktime version.

Dear Stentor,

In classical Latin pronunciation, it would actually sound like "morays." That shouldn't be our quibble with this monster.

Love,

Ha! I knew it! The problem is hippie sex.

(ie the sex Rickie was not allowed to have...and boy is he (still) pissed.)

I hear he privately "takes care of" young guys in the Senate bathroom....

Is that why he wants to be the "whip" of the Senate? Do the duties of office include wearing stilletto heels, leather thongs and nipple rings?

I want no part of his moral values!!!

In a way, I would like to see Santorum as President. Bush has been entertaining with his war, scandals dijoir and whatnot. But just for shits and giggles, we would be hard pressed to find any politican like Ricky.

PS: I have a couple of suggestions for his cabinet: Pat Robertson, Jerry Falwell, G W Bush, James Dobson, Tom Delay, Rush Limbaugh, Carl Rove and Ralph Reed.

They have the potential to make this great nation of ours like it once was --uninhabited wasteland.

Rick Santorum Ughhh! How could the people of Pennsylvania elect this moron of wanderlust. I have seen him and he has the same vacant stare and empty brain that bush has. Why do the good people of PA continue to allow him in office? A MYSTERY TO ME!!!
