Little Ricky

Now, I know they say correlation is not causation, but check out this little "coincidence."

Earlier this year, when I awarded Rick Santorum the first-ever Braffy Award for the Worst Person Alive (as chosen by the readers of Crushed by Inertia), he was the Senate's Golden Boy, the Prince of Pennsylvania. One of George Bush's most vocal supporters, author of a New York Times best-selling book, a leading Republican Senator with a good deal of name recognition considering a presidential run.

Now, post-Braffy, only a few months later, his re-election seems increasingly unlikely by the week and the White House won't take his phone calls. Is this merely a random confluence of events, or does the Braffy secretly have the power to destroy reputations and careers? Only time will tell...

Here's RADAR Magazine:

Increasingly dubious about Santorum’s chances, Capitol Hill sources report GOP powerbrokers have refocused their attentions—and dollars—on Doug Forrester, a little-known party hack who’s currently embroiled in a dead heat race with multi-millionaire Democrat Jon Corzine for New Jersey’s governorship.

“The party is pouring millions of dollars in PAC money into Forrester’s coffers, but most of that money was previously earmarked for Rick,” reports a well-placed Republican senate staffer. “It’s disgusting. Rick used to be Bush’s biggest booster on issues like stem-cell research, Social Security, and the Iraq war. Now the White House won’t even take his phone calls.”

Oh, man, this is gonna be so freaking fantastic, to see Rick Santorum drummed out of public life. America, you are genuinely starting to come around. You've hurt me in the past, and I swore I wouldn't get involved with a country again, but I'm starting to have feelings for you. That's all I'm saying.

Let's keep this train going...Indict all these old criminals and scumbags, replace them and all the other un-indictable ones with new and less experienced criminals and scumbags, and then let's impeach President Chimpface W. Bananas. And can we have some kind of "no more pardons" rule, because I'm sick of the next president always letting the ex-president and his buddies off so easy. Chimpface and Co. should be sent immediately to Gitmo for "interrogation."
