Wall Street Journal columnist Peggy Noonan wants to have sex with Rick Santorum. She wants to have like 10,000 of his babies.
No, really. That’s the only conclusion I can come to from her mashnote to Pennsylvania’s junior senator today. Oh, you don’t believe me? Here are some choice lines:
- “The other day I called a former senator, a crusty old moderate Republican, and asked him if he liked Mr. Santorum. ‘No,’ he said, ‘I love him.’”
- “Most of his own impulses–protect the unprotected, help the helpless, respect the common man–have not been conservative in the way conservative is roughly understood, or portrayed, in the national imagination. ” (Editor’s Note: This is my favorite type of argument. “If you people were smarter you’d realize that Rick Santorum is awesome!”)
- “He told me something is happening. And I hope he’s right. Because the U.S. Senate is both an institution and a collection of human beings, and it needs his kind.”
- “Personally I’ll shed no tear for the careerists of either party who win or lose, nor for the BlackBerryed gargoyles in the second row of the SUV who tell them how to think and where to stand. That means this election night will be, for me, a dry-eyed affair. But if Rick Santorum goes down to the defeat all expect, I will feel it. Like the crusty old moderate Republican, I know a national loss when I see one.”
Aww. Isn’t that cute. Although if Santorum were to lose, I think before I shed a tear I’ll say, “Awesome! We’ll have a senator who lives in Pennsylvania now!”
