Damn queers ruinin' it fer everybody - I knew I had a good reason to dislike "compassionate conservative" GOP Sen. Rick Santorum. Now the Washington Post has provided it to me. No, I'm not talking about his extemporaneously gay-bashing quote to the Associated Press:

"If the Supreme Court says that you have the right to consensual (gay) sex within your home, then you have the right to bigamy, you have the right to polygamy, you have the right to incest, you have the right to adultery. You have the right to anything," the Pennsylvania lawmaker said in a recent interview, fuming over a landmark gay rights case before the high court that pits a Texas sodomy law against equality and privacy rights.

"All of those things are antithetical to a healthy, stable, traditional family," Santorum said. "And that's sort of where we are in today's world, unfortunately. It all comes from, I would argue, this right to privacy that doesn't exist, in my opinion, in the United States Constitution."

No, rather it's the fact that these kind of comments win the praise of the brother of one of my Princeton classmates, Karl Rove's right hand man, Ken Mehlman. My sources tell me Ken is the type of guy even fellow Republicans find hard to like. And yet he's good buddies with W. Tsk, tsk.
