Managed to catch Pennsylvania senator and resident freak Rick Santorum on the Today show, touting his new book. In it he essentially admonishes the modern woman for wanting to work and pursue careers as opposed to being a staying at home and raising children.
Well Rick got two things for you from the land of the Middle Class reality:
1. As someone who's looking to be a parent in the future, we'd all like to spend much more time with our (hopefully soon to be) kids than what our jobs allow. But things like mortgages, car payments, and future college tuition don't pay themsleves. So that's why my wife and I put on the monkey suits, carry the briefcases and stop off at Dunkin Donuts before heading into the corporate jungle day in and day out. With the hope that the hard work one day puts us in a position to have that flexible, leisurely time with the kids that you and your wife seem to ample time for.
2. Why in the name of political conventional wisdom would you write a book that essntially outs yourself as a evangelical wingnut who makes Pat Robertson look pale in comparison. Especially a year before your toughest re-election yet in a moderate swing, state? You might as well of said "I'm into the drugs and the kinky sex" because that's about how well your book comes off to the people of the Keystone state. Dumbass
