Santorum

Rick Santorum (R-Fecal Matter), a senator so thoroughly disgusting that his name has become slang for something thoroughly disgusting (thanks to the efforts of Dan Savage), had a Social Security event. I'm sorry I wasn't there because it sounds like it was great fun in a way that the Foul Senator hadn't intended it to be. From MyDD:

Outside the hall before the event, Philly DFA began chanting "Hey-hey, ho-ho, Riock Santorum has got to go!" Local college Republicans, who are just about the only Republicans in West Philly, responded with a chant that beautifully was captured live by CNN: "hey-hey, ho-ho, Social Security has got to go!" I love it when the other side does your campaigning for you!

Inside the hall, the biggest applause line of the event was generated early on when Santorum asked a rhetorical question about demographics and funding: "what happens in 2008?" Before he could answer his own question, someone shouted "Bush leaves office," and the room went wild.
