I’m a left wing Democrat and I have absolute and total disdain for Santorum; however, he was right to challenge that reporter who was taking his comments out of context. His mistake was to keep going on and on (“taking a victory lap” per Jon Steward). For the absolutely first time, I have to agree with this sanctimonious twit and I hate it! To the press: Let’s try to get it right!
I don’t think the reporter got it that wrong, really. Santorum did say that Romney was the worst Republican to run against Obama, which was pretty much the question asked. Santorum was fishing for an excuse to get a Gingrich-like “attack the liberal press” moment, but he’s not very good at it.
Looking at tapes, the reporter WAS QUOTING Rick! Now, let Rick “cuss out” someone from Fox if he wants to hit at the real distortions in coverage. That Santorum, nor Romney, can keep track of what they say from one moment to the next, is NOT either Times OR Fox reporters fault!

Harold Lloyd did it with out a net. No Computer Generated help. I still get a knot in my guts when watching that film.

Off the cuff is okay, it’s when they’re “off their nut” they really screw up!
