That's Rick Santorum's concession speech and that's his daughter crying. I saw part of it last night and I felt bad for the little girl, all she's known is her daddy being a Senator and now he was voted out and there she was live on national television holding her American Doll girl and trying to be brave.
I'm just, uh, just feeling kinda... truthsome right now. And, uh... life's just too damn short for ifs and maybes.

Other than that, right on, Leonard.
I think he knows the difference, but can't keep it straight.

Santorum, PA Senate.

I watched it last night, and also felt bad for the kids (one of his sons was crying, too). Not bad enough to want their dad in office, mind you, but bad because they're years away from understanding why their dad lost or realizing how fucked-up their parents' ideology is.

Our wings are not tired.
Scola! Too funny!
Hee. Got no sympathy for Santorum, but poor kid. Guess my boys should be grateful that I didn't go into politics.

I'm almost afraid to go to sleep tonight; I'm afraid I'll wake up up and this will all have been a dream.
Did someone get a power center or did someone smash one?

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
I thought that was Lamont, and for a second, thought it was a joke.

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe
I felt sorry for Santorum's kids, too. They were having such a hard time trying to be all stoic, and they just couldn't hold it together.
I thought his concession speech was gracious, I'll say that much. But I also think he shouldn't have brought his kids out like that.

I thought Santorum's concession speech was pretty gracious.

I'm also ridiculously fond of this picture of the Santorum family: [link]

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Yeah, this.
Half of my department is out sick, but I wish I had taken the day off, too -- between the fact that I can't stop reading news/blogs/here, and the torrential diagonal rain outside, it is not a good day to be at work.
