Li'l Ricky
Senator Santorum (R-AKC) is all over the news today.
First, he appears with McCain to portray himself as Mr. Clean Government. Josh Marshall catches Sen. Manondog lying here and here.
Meanwhile, on the Op-Ed Page of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette Ricky throws a hissy fit over a recent editorial. The lousy situation in Iraq? It's all the media's fault:
As I mentioned Thursday, we hear incessant reports of Iraqis being killed at military and police recruiting stations. Yet the media never reports the fact that, in spite of these attacks, Iraqi men return to these same stations the very next day, so stalwart is their desire for freedom. The second point is at least as important to understanding the situation in Iraq as the first, but we never hear it. I believe that with its consistent use of selective reporting, the media have entirely failed to fulfill their most important responsibility -- a responsibility to the truth.
Why don't you go over, Rick? Oh, and leave the Green Zone when you do.
