When They Say He's A "Solid" Conservative, They're Talking About His Head

This is hilarious. Ricky Senatorum tries to distance himself from the war, but manages to distance himself only from reality:

Republican U.S. Sen. Rick Santorum's office acknowledged yesterday that it cannot locate public statements of the senator questioning the Iraq war, despite the senator's claim last week that he has publicly expressed his concerns.

"Robert L. Traynham, Santorum's spokesman, said a search of Nexis, a news database, and the office's press clippings had not turned up any account of those comments." Traynham and Santorum both say, however, that Santorum may have made comments about Iraq that just haven't shown up in any record. "I do a lot of interviews on TV, on radio, with print reporters who don't happen to write everything I say," Santorum told the Inquirer. "The fact that it hasn't turned up in print doesn't mean I haven't said it."

This is the story they're going with? That the media neglected to make any record when Sen. Man-On-Dog actually said something about Iraq not in complete subjugated suck-assedness to the Crawford Cretin?

I didn't think it was humanly possible, but it appears that Ricky Senatorum has managed to hire a spokesman even stupider than he is.
