Hypocrisy alert: Senator's book at odds with his life (Santorum)
Hypocrisy alert: Senator's book at odds with his life

PLEASE excuse the blood drops splattered across my column. I've been reading Sen. Rick Santorum's book, "It Takes A Family: Conservatism and the Common Good," and my blood pressure got so high the veins burst in my eyeballs.

Why am I so agitated by Sen. Opie's book?

It's not, as you might expect, just because it's filled with sanctimonious rants about the right way for families to live. That would be merely irritating.

It's because his dictums are at arrogant odds with how our senator lives his own life.

It oughta be titled, "It Takes a Hypocrite."

1. Can anybody get the article to Jon Stewart or his producers?

Santorum is supposed to be on the Daily Show on Monday.

2. The common good??? If there is one thing above all...
the multitude of things conservatives know nothing about, it is the common good!!!

In fact, you would think they would want to avoid that term because to me it's always been better associated with the "It takes a village" approach to community.
