Will be none other than our good pal Rick Santorum. Buy your blank tape now, kids.

Edit: Also, Jon Stewart will be on Fresh Air on NPR today. Might be a rerun, but still...

[Nicholas D Wolfwood]

1. Seriously. That's DVD material.

4. e-mail the Daily Show this letter

As a teacher for the Diocese of Pittsburgh for 14 years, one important lesson I learned was that no matter what I said to the child, whatever the parents said superseded my message. What parents say and how they live sends a message stronger than any teacher's voice no matter what the issue.

Sen. Rick Santorum and his wife have taught their children a powerful lesson on civic responsibility by refusing to pay any tuition money to the Penn Hills School District for their children who attended the Pennsylvania Cyber Charter School ("Penn Hills Loses Bid to Charge Santorum," July 12). Released from that payment on a technicality shows that even an upstanding, moral gentleman like Sen. Santorum teaches his children the following lessons:

1) Take advantage of the system whenever you can.

2) The little guy pays while the rich and powerful guy gets away with it.

3) As a Catholic, you have no obligation to pay your share to the common good in spite of Catholic social doctrine.

Finally, I am shocked that our religious leaders who see Sen. Santorum as some sort of faith-and-morals hero have not spoken up on this issue at all.

5. nice

To get every question/jab we want to see hurled at Rick they'd have to make it a two-day appearance and cancel the other bits on the show.

Hmmm...pay per view idea? Is that you calling?

[SalmonChantedEvening]

6. I sense true Kodak Moments a-comin'!!

Will lil Rickie go tough guy on him? Will Jon laugh in his face if he does?

One thing's for sure, Stewart will be armed for bear. Or boar. :P

[Village Idiot]

7. If Stewart fails...

to bring up Santorum's kids' scholastic arrangements, the weird housing situation, gay bashing and the strange fact that one of his cheif advisors is gay, and OUT, I will lose a lot of respect...

That being said, I realize that this is "just a comedy show," but hell - we can't expect the LIBERAL MEDIA to bring this stuff up, so who else do we have???

[jane_pippin]

8. I agree that it should be brought up

although I won't lose respect for Jon as I am a nerd for him and it would take more than that for me to think less of him.
