WAIT! . . . the letters are an odd color . . . is that sign made from a frothy mix of lub . . .

OMG!

If so, he's got a better sense of humor than I ever would have given him credit for. But that's not saying much.

Aurora Erratic on December 13, 2011 at 5:20 AM

I'm sure he does have a great sense of humor. I clicked on "spreakingsantorum" today just to give him another laugh.

It's hard to hold your hand steady when you've been rogered nearly senseless.

(And I think his daughter helped out, with her Inkadinkadoo rubber stamp set!)

rob! on December 13, 2011 at 6:00 AM

I expect it is not a sense of humor so much as a deep and abiding sense of cluelessness.

TechBear on December 13, 2011 at 6:06 AM

I suspect @5 is correct.

Fifty-Two-Eighty on December 13, 2011 at 6:12 AM

I suspect #5 and #6 are correct.

venomlash on December 13, 2011 at 6:15 AM

Ditto #7, and from the glint in the eye/smirk of the guy standing next to him, who I assmue MADE the sign, Rick is the only one NOT in on the joke. I can how amazed/excited/nervous the guy is in the pic. Well done!

ianbnyc on December 13, 2011 at 6:28 AM

I'm with #8 - I hadn't noticed that guy! But it sure seems there's a gleam there! This is AWESOME! I almost feel sorry for Rick, except that he's a cruel douchcanoe and he brings such things on himself.

skyweaver on December 13, 2011 at 6:34 AM

"Senator, would you mind posing with me and my sign?"

TechBear on December 13, 2011 at 6:41 AM

#10 - I'm with you on that- the guy on the left. Three eyes in the photo, all smiling but only one is smiling in a knowing way.

colinrichardson on December 13, 2011 at 7:03 AM

A turtleneck? Dude, you're running for POTUS! If you're going to wear a suit jacket, wear a tie!

Sir Vic on December 13, 2011 at 7:22 AM

what is clueless is believing that emphasizing that YOUR sexual behavior spreads FECES all over the place somehow humiliates someone else.
Danny and Slog don't comprehend the way their santorum cuteness plays in the Real World

on December 13, 2011 at 7:31 AM

It's interesting that Republicans would rather vote for Gingrich than a frothy mix. Six of one....

Vince on December 13, 2011 at 7:39 AM

Well we can hardly blame him for taking the joke he was turned into and trying to make it work for him. Still needs to work a few kinks out, though.

DRF on December 13, 2011 at 8:05 AM

The medium is the message.

dirge on December 13, 2011 at 8:06 AM

I swear, people like Santorum (and Palin) make me wonder at what point cluelessness slides over the line into unintentional performance art.

Because, please.

The part that blows my mind is that people are financially supporting people like this. It's one thing to enjoy them when they stand on a crate in a park. It's another to give them millions and a national forum.

Lymis on December 13, 2011 at 8:16 AM

@16
Rick Santorum is NOT a medium. He's barely an extra-small.

Lymis on December 13, 2011 at 8:17 AM

If I didn't know any better I think Santorum has a dirty Sanchez five o'clock shadow in that pic.

UpperRight90 on December 13, 2011 at 8:24 AM

His nickname is the ONLY reason anyone knows who he is. He's not a serious candidate. He's a crackpot. I bet he clicks on spreadingsantorum.com daily. It's the only thing he's got.

monkey on December 13, 2011 at 8:33 AM

Just where did he get that "finger paint"?

jeffg166 on December 13, 2011 at 8:57 AM

#21 - Some questions should not be asked, because they end up getting answered.

TechBear on December 13, 2011 at 9:06 AM

grow up

Swearengen on December 13, 2011 at 9:09 AM

*snort*

Okay, that's gonna put a smile on my face all day.

Reverse Polarity on December 13, 2011 at 9:34 AM

Wait, he's fucking with you? So is that your stuff or his stuff on that sign?

Alice Dreger on December 13, 2011 at 9:47 AM

My bosses just came in my office to see what I was laughing at. Too funny!

Hooray for whoever made the sign and got frothy to hold it like up.

despicable me on December 13, 2011 at 9:49 AM

hold it up like that. Damn fingers.

despicable me on December 13, 2011 at 9:50 AM

Dan:
It is, of course, all about you.

Edmund Burke on December 13, 2011 at 10:39 AM

There's a lot of red. I think a hemorrhoid bursted in the santorum.

sirkowski on December 13, 2011 at 11:53 AM

Does anyone else think the letters look a lot like pieces of colon? There's just so much to work with here.

CarolineD on December 13, 2011 at 12:33 PM

I think you meant to say, "Santorum Spills It Out"

Irena on December 13, 2011 at 12:46 PM

Dog pee can't stop him.

mran on December 13, 2011 at 1:18 PM

@32 : dog pee, maybe not, but santorum ?

sissoucat on December 13, 2011 at 2:34 PM

sometimes, I start to feel sorry for Rick. Then I remember why he's been turned into a frothy mix, and I... well.... still feel sorry that he's such an asshole.

wingedkat on December 13, 2011 at 3:09 PM

@16: Well played, Sir.

saxfanatic on December 13, 2011 at 4:30 PM

Dan, stop giving the guy the time of day. The only reason he's still a national punchline is because of you - so stop. Unless you're attacking a "presidential candidate" who's at 2% for your own ego ... which kind of speaks for itself, really. Kind of like Jon Stewart making fun of Herman Cain - sure, it's funny, but what does it accomplish? You have influence now, Dan, stop speaking like you're the anti-establishment guy throwing stones at the big glass house. There's different, better glass to throw at now!

rynaxfive on December 13, 2011 at 6:04 PM

this frothy mixture looks like it has some blood in it

puddles on December 13, 2011 at 7:45 PM

Now I'm going to spend all day going nuts trying to figure out the conundrum: Is Mr. Frothy in on the joke or isn't he? Does he have any clue what his sign looks like or not, and if so does he think it's actually funny, or is he just smiling like that because he's a politician giving a photo-op? Is he really fucking with Dan--and if so, how, and on what meta-level? Is he playing 17-dimensional chess with his butthole?

My head assplode.

The Beatles on December 14, 2011 at 8:13 AM

Anyone else notice what color Real Clear Politics uses for Santorum on their poll tracking chart? http://www.realclearpolitics.com/epolls/…

StumptownJon on December 14, 2011 at 12:02 PM

Maybe it's an anti-Obama sign -- maybe he's wishing the president a santorum incident. (How mean!)

ankylosaur on December 14, 2011 at 1:14 PM

He is, Danny.

He's fucking with you.

He's giving you his best 'Cum Hither' look....

see the 'Fuck Me' look in his eyes?

he dug his turtle neck out just to drive you crazy.

Rick knows you want to whip up some Santorum IN Santorum.

He's all good with it.

He wants you Danny.

Just you.......

on December 14, 2011 at 4:02 PM

Look at the smile on his face.

He's got a cricket in his pocket....la di la di da!
