We need Drinking Game rules for these two.

So, they gave the back to back debates a name on WaPo, what is SLOG calling them?

Sit and Spin?

Or Dry and Lie?

The First Rule of Republican Drinking Debate Club is "Drink When They Quote Patriotic Songs".

Now, what are the other rules?

grow up? if a candidate can vilify me as a gay person to further his political aspirations he's lucky we haven't faberged his house yet.

You know what would be hard?

For the Rick Santorum camp to make up a double entendre for Dan Savage. They probably thought of it but decided that kind of shit is too hard.

Here, I'll help. Go to thesaurus.com and type in S-A-V-A-G-E. Here:
savage [sav-ij]  
Main Entry:
savage  [sav-ij] Show IPA
Part of Speech: adjective
Definition: wild, untamed
Synonyms: aboriginal, ancient, archaic, barbarian, barbaric, bestial, brutal, brute, crude, earliest, feral, ferocious, fierce, first, fundamental, harsh, in a state of nature, lupine, native, natural, nonliterate, original, primary, primeval, primitive, primordial, pristine, rough, rude, rugged, rustic, simple, turbulent, unbroken, uncivilized, uncultivated, uncultured, undomesticated, unmodified, unrestrained, unspoiled, vicious


See? Now run with that! Rick? Come on, play along, Rick, you dense little fucker. It's not as hard as you think.

Pussy.

I almost hope my social life falls through so I can participate tomorrow (that's 9 pm in my time zone).

From a design perspective, I would have used PMS 7511 or 7517 for the headline, but I'm not really sure what color santorum really is. I would have expected a deeper, richer brown.

@8 perhaps on a Bostonion Diet, but perhaps the New Hampshire diet is a bit more "wheaty"?

funny - now that Slog has had to rent itself to Google Ads (the Little Nickel of online revenue) this post and its lovely graphics had off to the right a giant ad reading "Jesus is Lord - Join Christiansingles dot com".

I don't know why Santorum is even bothering with New Hampshire. He's obviously popular with the far right nutters in Iowa (at least this week), but he'll get laughed right out of NH. I bet he ends up in the single digits there.

So, if Santorum doesn''t win NH by more than 20 points, is he DOA or will he be winnowed out in SC?

Discuss ...

Also, if Ron Paul doubles his margin in NH like he did in IA, does he have the Mo?

Damn - I'm in Vegas for the weekend. I wonder if I can bet on some aspect of it.

I guess I'll have to watch it in my hotel room, since I doubt I can get them to put it on in the sportsbook.

Speaking of the Frothy Mix, has anyone updated Santorum's wikipedia page with the real details of his wife's abortion? I don't think it's fair he's running on an anti-abortion-even-in-the-case-of-threat-to-maternal-life if his own wife had one.

@22, the first site you quoted said "[Karen] Santorum said her labor proceeded without having to induce an abortion." And the source for your second site is the first site.

So, no, she didn't have an abortion. More info at salon.com/2012/01/06/karen_santorum_did_… (Salon article, Jan 6 2012, "Karen Santorum did not have an abortion")

Rick Santorum says enough terrible things that there's no need to make stuff up.
