ANOTHER REASON TO DESPISE SANTORUM

Yes, I am still upset with the Republicans/Conservatives for their shameless behavior over Terri Schiavo.   Yes, I had forgotten about the role Frothy Fetus Boy Santorum played in this national disgrace. (h/t David Weigel)

Rick Santorum and the Terri Schiavo disaster
4:50 pm February 14, 2012, by Jay

Back in 2005, then-Sen. Rick Santorum helped turn the Schiavo tragedy into a national morality play, with himself and a few others self-cast as its heroes. He even went so far as to visit Schiavo’s bedside in Florida, proclaiming that her mental state was “close to equivalent of someone with the disease cerebral palsy.”

“”We need to do something to stop this unconscionable act on the part of the Florida Court,” Santorum preached at the time. “Terri Schiavo is a daughter, a sister, and most importantly, a person. We cannot allow an innocent person to be put to death.”

Seven years ago, he and others wanted to hold the Florida judge in contempt of Congress. Santorum was even angrier that the local federal judge in Florida had refused to obey Congress’ order to intercede, and hinted at impeachment.

In another interview, Santorum complained about “judicial tyranny” on the part of the federal judge
