Eh, I think I'm ambivalent, I mean sure it sucks for your dad not to be in office anymore, but you're not going to starve while he's out of work. Also, have your parents taught you nothing about losing (which now that I remember some Republicans' sense of entitlement, prolly not)? Happens. Sucks. But it happens.
Natter 47: My Brilliance Is Wasted On You People
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
Santorum's nuts, but I'll give him this, so far as I can tell he's not a hypocrite.
I took the time out from an ultra-busy workday to come in here and say WOOHOO about the Rumsfeld news.
I'm torn between being a terrible person for laughing at the "No, you can't have a pony" picture, and feeling terribly sorry for those kids. Especially for those horrible outfits they're wearing.
Ok - accidental or intentional - Loving on Santorum's son right now.
I felt bad for his kids because their lives have just been changed radically. This is the only life they've known and it must be kind of freaky for them.
In completely unrelated news, the TWoP thread for last night's House episode is making me feel OLD. People don't know Dwayne Wade! People are seeing John Larroquette and saying, "hey, that's the guy from the 10th Kingdom!"
I'm torn between glee because of the way Santorum has treated others and sympathy because the kids should be considered on their own merits and not their father's (lack of).

It was the immediate aftermath of the vote-counting, though. Election night, emotions running high. And they're *kids* -- Santorum has had years as a politician to perfect his game face. Kids are *supposed* be to emotionally unguarded. Or less-guarded than their politician parent.

I do love the comment one person made on that picture which said "My name means WHAT???"
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.
Yeah. Their entire world has just changed. They've never known their dad not to be a Senator.
