Santorum's concession speech was pitch perfect. It was a bit hard to hear with me jumping up and down yelling at the tv and all, but very gracious.
I imagine the suckitude of being a politician's kid is balanced by the perks. Kid's just don't get to chose the life. My kids would no doubt pick a different career path for me too.
lisah, not bad in a geeky sort of way.
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.
And they're probably just exhausted.
Kids cry, they get over it. Crying is what they do for a living.

Ann Coulter's site is giving me a "Cannot find server"
Dude, when that kid is older, she's going to hate her dad for putting her on that stage. I think it's just mean to expose your kids like that. But hey, good publicity right? THE DEMOCRATS MADE MY BABY CRY!

I'm still pissed at him for paying some out of towner 1/2 a million dollars to come up with a lame ass slogan ("Baltimore, Get in On it!" what does that even mean) when I'd given him a perfectly great slogan for free (at a bar a couple of years ago): "Baltimore--It's Fucking Awesome!" He claimed to like it at the time anways.
I think brenda's soap opera drama came to my office for a visit. There's a dude on the other side of my cube (at reception) who has apparently been banned from the building; he's arguing with some employees, and the police may have to be called.
