How sad, to be such a weakling of a presidential candidate that you’re crying about the fact that Saturday Night Live made fun of you:
Rick Santorum criticized a Saturday Night Live skit that poked fun at his anti-gay marriage views and trailing poll numbers as “bullying” in an interview this weekend.
SNL, in a send-up of last week’s Bloomberg/Washington Post debate that set candidate’s seating order based on poll numbers, said seating for the skit was based “on the likelihood of the candidate winning the nomination.”
Actors playing contenders Herman Cain and former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney were seated at the table, while Texas Gov. Rick Perry was placed in the corner of the set, Rep. Ron Paul (Texas) was banished to a parking garage, former Speaker Newt Gingrich (Ga.) and Rep. Michele Bachmann (Minn.) were put a broom closet, and Santorum in “a crowded gay bar in the Castro district of San Francisco.”
Hahahahah, that’s awesome. Roll tape!
Poor widdle baby.
Get back to us after you’ve killed yourself for it Ricky.
Let’s say if the world was really coming to an end and Santorum became President doesn’t he know he would be open to parody…Santorum as parody…oh nevermind.
Ron Paul and his “2nd Amendment” solution…I lol’d
As the mother of two special needs children, who has fought on the front lines locally and nationally, to pass anti-bullying legislation and have those laws enforced for 16 years now, I resent Rick Santorum misusing the word “bullying” and diminishing it’s meaning. Bullying is a very serious issue for young people, and he undermines it’s meaning and harmful effects by making himself a victim. He is being made fun of, because of his tragic, victimizing of millions of gay people. He’s being called out on his policies, and in this instance, in a very amusing way. If he can’t take the heat, get the f**k off the campaign trail. But don’t dare undermine the work of parents and activists for decades of work getting these crucial anti-bullying laws passed and enforced to protect our children. I also resent the religious right and people like Santorum who are implying the anti-bullying movement started with LGBT activists, when some of us have been fighting for these rules and laws for 15-20 years now. We welcome the influence of the LGBT movement to this fight and cause, because their children are also bullied like disabled children. But, we, parents in the disabled community, were who started the anti-bullying movement, and we welcome all parents and children to join in. I welcome him to hate whomever he pleases; it’s his right to be an idiot, but will not sit quietly has he undermines our causes and our work by pretending he is a victim of bullying, especially when he himself is a bully and perpetuates and fortifies the kinds of hatred and vitriol about gay and trans children, which leads them to suicide in so many cases. Mr. Santorum, You’re a terrible presidential candidate and your #1 issue, blocking gay marriage, given your grisly poll numbers, is clearly not resonating with voters. Don’t blame that on SNL, LGBT, or anyone but yourself and your own strategists. You’re so addled by your own ignorance and bigotry, you cannot see YOU are failing, because YOU are a failure. Pennsylvania, as a state, kicked your a*s to the curb a few years back, and it appears the country is doing so to now.
Poor Ricky, he is just naturally whiny and obnoxious. What a pathetic excuse for a man. That he was ever elected to office had to be some sort of cosmic quirk. Plus, he is so hung up on gay anything. I can only hope one of his sons is gay and manages to teach daddy a thing or two about life in the real world.
Ricky strikes me as the type who will try to beat out out of his son like fellow closet case George Rekers recommends. If not, there’s always a few concentration camps willing to take another gay prisoner to “cure”.
