Yeah, he sure is isn't he? His response to this has been "you're not a true republican until you've cursed out a New York Times reporter". For someone that wears the bible and morality on his sleeve he doesn't seem to have a problem using curse words in front of a young lady. Anyone can spew verse and talk about integrity and morality when the waters are calm but you see someones true character when the sea rises.

This guy's such a phony.

Can you imagine if Barack Obama said, "that's bullshit" to a Fox news reporter... or anyone?

I actually think its refreshing that the guy had a brief moment of being human, which I was beginning to doubt. Its got to be frustrating to watch everything you say all the time for fear that it will be taken out of context. That's exactly what this reporter was trying to do, and RS had a snap. I don't blame him at all; I would be fed up too.

When you cloak yourself in a holier than thou morality, your detractors are allowed to call you a hypocrite when you curse in public.

It's only refreshing because they ALL act so disingenuous 99% of the time.

Call him a hypocrite all you want. I'm not one to shy away from Santorum bashing. I hate him. In this one very specific instance, I didn't really have a problem with him. In general however, there's no love lost there.
