Rick Santorum... (*JUST SHAKING MY HEAD*)



Fresh off of his withdrawal from the Republican race for the Presidency, former Pennsylvania Senator Rick Santorum offered his passionate endorsement for Marco Rubio yesterday.

(*JUST SHAKING MY HEAD*)

* FOLKS... I'VE ALWAYS DISTRUSTED SANTORUM - AND WITH GOOD REASON: I KNOW THE MAN'S RECORD.

(*SMIRK*)

However, on Thursday morning, Santorum was utterly unable to answer a direct question from Morning Joe‘s Joe Scarborough:

“What do you list as Marco Rubio’s top accomplishment?”

What followed was a dizzying array of questionable sidesteps and half-answers from Santorum, who himself won the Iowa Caucus in 2012.

To Scarborough’s question, Santorum meekly managed to say that Rubio, “[Won] a tough election in Florida, pull[ing] people together from a variety of spots.”

(*JUST SHAKING MY HEAD IN TOTAL DISGUST*)

Scarborough wasn’t having it, and repeated the question multiple times while others on the Morning Joe panel laughed at the absurdity of the situation.

“He’s someone who brings people together!” Santorum admitted sheepishly.

* SERIOUSLY... ONE P.O.S. "ENTHUSIASTICALLY SUPPORTING" ANOTHER P.O.S.

(*STILL SHAKING MY HEAD*)

“He’s been in the Senate four years. Can you name his top accomplishment?” pressed Scarborough once more.

* AND OF COURSE... NO FRIGGIN' ANSWER.

* I CAN NAME A COUPLE OF RUBIO'S "ACCOMPLISHMENTS!" 1) TRIED TO GET AMNESTY PASSED AS A MEMBER OF MCCAIN'S "GROUP OF EIGHT;" 2) GOOGLE "RUBIO + SUGAR SUBSIDIES".

* AND, FOLKS... THAT'S JUST OFF THE TOP OF MY HEAD!

Mika Brzezinski pushed the former Pennsylvania Senator further, leading him with “Jeb Bush ran Florida. Donald Trump built a company. Marco Rubio… finish the sentence.”

Predictably, Santorum could not, though he maintained his smile throughout the brief interview.

* JUST A SIDE COMMENT: SANTORUM HAS ONE OF THOSE FACES YOU JUST WANNA SMACK...

(*RUEFUL CHUCKLE*)

Scarborough admitted afterwards that ironically, it was Santorum’s work in the Senate — not necessarily Rubio’s — that was deserving of praise, noting that it would be easy to identify accomplishments of Santorum’s.
