From LifeSiteNews.com:
Speaking to a room full of prominent US Catholic leaders Friday night, Senator Rick Santorum was challenged to run for the Republican Presidential nominaion. Responding to a room already thick with applause, Santorum revealed that he was indeed "thinking about it" but asked for prayers and detailed his thinking on the matter.
His remarks came after his address to the closing dinner of the 12th annual Catholic Leadership Conference - an invite-only gathering of Catholic leaders from academia, law, media, medicine, and politics, as well as leaders of movements within the Church such as pro-life, pro-family and evangelization. Posing the challenge was long-time legal, political, and media activist Keith Fournier.
Please. Do it. I want Wonkette to have an excuse to run that election night '06 picture forever.
OMG,tell me, please, that it's FORMER Senator Rick Santorum.
If Rick "Sexes with wolves" Santorum gets the nomination, Obama wins 70-30. Please, let this happen!
Run, Ricky, Run! What a joke.
Oh yes! This is too good to be true. "Santorum". Look the word up in the Urban Dictionary. The name of the man has entered the idiom as a noun connoting fecal matter. I live in PA and followed Senator Rick. Do you know that back in the late 1990s he wanted to do away with the National Weather Service? His rationale, and I kid you not, was to destroy it-- privatize it-- because it was something the government did that provided obvious value. His idea, and he is a genius of a kind, was to make people pay for weather information if they thought they needed it. He was also, at the time, intimately linked with one of the big commercial weather forcasting companies, which one I don't know. I wager there is a bountiful harvest of such breathtaking factoids out there to be found. As a poster boy for whatever is left of the GOP in 2012 he cannot be improved upon. How do I contribute to his political action committee?

So long as he doesn't crowd Bachmann out of the field, fine, I'll pray for both.
The weather forecasting company was AccuWeather. And it was actually far more recent than the late 1990s it was the early 2000s. Here's a link: http://www.slate.com/id/2123557/
