Idiotwatch: Senator Rick Santorum (R-PA) ...like i had to tell you that.

This guy is the DARLING of the GOP. you may have caught this GEM over the weekend. after reading from his AWESOME new book (i mean, really. doesn't it sound awesome?):

Respect for stay-at-home mothers has been poisoned by a toxic combination of the village elders' war on the traditional family and radical feminism's misogynistic crusade to make working outside the home the only marker of social value and self-respect.

George Stephanopoulos asks him about these "radical feminists" Santorum is so prone to talk about:
STEPHANOPOULOS: Let's get specific here, name one or two of these radical feminists who are on this crusade.

SANTORUM: Well, I mean, uh, you know, you have, you go, you go back to, um, ah, what's her name, well, Gloria Steinem, but I'm trying to remember, ah, [tsk], eh, can't remember the woman's name. That's terrible—anyway...
well, he WAS right. that WAS terrible. haw haw haw haw....what an ass.

you know, if you plan to lay the ills of society at someone's feet...say, 'the radical feminists", you should be able to name some of these folks. i mean, otherwise, it's like you're talking about 'the evil spirits' or somesuch.

Its this sort of thing that exposes their political philosophy to be no deeper than a bumper sticker slogan.
