What Was Al Franken Talking About Last Night Regarding Santorum?

[ChiciB1]

On Bill Maher last night Al Franken said he just didn't want to talk about the Santorum story, but I must have missed it.

Anyone know what he's referring to? They were having a discussing about "gays" when it came up. I've been away for about a week and wasn't watching much news.

3. Geez, Now I Don't Feel So Dumb...

Somebody must have some info! He didn't seem to be "joking" or maybe I missed something TOTALLY!

How can we find out?? The panel seemed to understand, so something is out there.

11. He was, indeed, making a joke. And the rest of the panel played along.

A JOKE.

4. The weird preemie fetus story?

Santorum and wife had a preemie who died, but they dressed up the preemie and took it home to "introduce" it to their other kids and let them play with it... she wrote a book about it. Old news...

6. But WHY Bring It Up Now???

If it's such an old news story. I realize his numbers are slipping, but the fact that they were talking "gays" threw me off!

I never heard YOUR story either! And the guy got elected in SPITE of this crap????

7. Other than the fact that Santorum

got a $70 a year tax break that he did not deserve, he also has made remarks about Dems blocking the appointment of judges that make him sound like a hypocrite. http://www.post-gazette.com/pg/05122/497703.stm

8. It's just his dry humor. What they did with that man and the dog

... no, I'm just not talking about it!

[ChiciB1]

9. WHAT Man and The Dog???

[atommom]

10. That's what he said, as an aside, to make fun of Washington

rumor-mongers. In this case, there's no man and no dog. Nothing to see here.

12. Well, He Sure Had Me Going...

And I was looking for some "real juice"! Guess my bubble just got busted.

I'm usually pretty good with reading between the lines, but missed THIS one completely!

[BlueStateGirl]

15. He was making a joke. But if people want to believe something

happened between Santorum and a dog, that's fine with me :)

17. Two years ago Santorum

made remarks comparing homosexuality with bestailty:
