Santorum Attacks Malia's Trip

Rick Santorum is appalled that the p0resident would let his daughter, Malia, vacation in Mexico, despite a recent travel warning for the country by the U.S. State Department. "What I would say is that the president's actions should reflect what his administration is saying," the Republican presidential candidate told Glenn Beck on his radio show Tuesday.

Rick just crossed the line. Nobody's juvenile kids are to be used as pawns in the political race. How dare he? The man thinks he can rule everyone.

Piece of garbage just can't seem to keep his shit-hole santorum spewing mouth shut.

[NJMaverick]

with a crap load of secret service agents guarding her must have been in.

I can't help but think that Santorum crossed the line from the get-go by agreeing to appear on Glenn Beck's show. Beck should be toxic to anyone running for public office, but Republicans long ago jumped that shark - and the media yawns.

Repubs are like big bullies, they pick on people smaller than them and they don't pick on people they know can fight back.

Where was that outrage when G.W. Bush* spend most of his time on vacation?

Not gonna find any, B_J. However, if a Democrat had said something like that about the daughter of a Republican, you can bet they'd be all over the airwaves clutching their pearls and whining about it.

Frankly, ALL children should be off limits unless they deliberately put themselves in the public spotlight with bad behavior (like the Bush girls drunk on their asses on the floor of a bar).

It should be noted that Santorum brought home a dead fetus for his children to cuddle with! Santorum is the last person to be speaking out on parenting!

That's some of the sickest shit I've ever heard. Morbid to da max.

[Treestar]

And Santorum is the one who used his kids to get sympathy when he lost an election.

Listen to what a real man and a good man has to say. Learn some fucking morals you sleazy religious hypocrite

"At a brief press availability in Monroe, Mich., ABC News asked Sen. Barack Obama, D-Ill., if he had any response to Gov. Sarah Palin's statement that her unmarried 17-year-old daughter Bristol is pregnant.
"Let me be a clear as possible: I have said before and I will repeat again, I think people's families are off limits," Obama said, "and people's children are especially off limits.
"This shouldn't be part of our politics," he continued, "It has no relevance to Gov. Palin's performance as governor, or her potential performance as a vice president.
"And so I would strongly urge people to back off these kinds of stories," he said. "You know my mother had me when she was 18, and how a family deals with issues and, you know, teenage children, that shouldn't be the topic of our politics and I hope that anybody who is supporting me understands that's off limits.""

Thanks for finding this quote from PBO. He is a decent man...Santorum will never make that grade.

[OptimistesMaddie]

have no limits to their depravity.

I am telling you the attacks on the children will increase. The Repugs are desperate.

[janedrake]

I keep waiting for Santorum to say something, anything - do something, anything - that would even in some vague way point to his professed "Christianity" as being more than just a cover for what appears to be a very repressed, envious, miserable, sexually-frustrated human being.

Sidwell Friends School is Quaker -- I'm not surprised there's a public service aspect to their curriculum.

MEXICO CITY — After weighing the risks of traveling to Mexico, the parents of one American teenager decided to allow her to join a school trip to Oaxaca, where students volunteered at an orphanage, visited archaeological sites and sipped vanilla milkshakes on the honey-colored town plaza.

Malia, 13, attends Sidwell Friends School in Washington, which has been organizing trips to Oaxaca for years, said Ellis Turner, the associate head of school, who pointed out that there was no State Department travel warning for Oaxaca.

Although the White House asked English-language media to remove articles about the visit from their Web sites this week, the visit was never a secret in Mexico. “The reality is that Oaxaca isn’t that big and it isn’t that easy to hide 10 girls and that security,” said Mr. Zorrilla, the tourism official. On Monday, the group sat down for lunch at Terranova, a family restaurant behind the porticos lining Oaxaca’s central plaza. The headwaiter, José Victoria, said they ordered bottles of water, vanilla milkshakes, pizza and spaghetti. Malia opted for cheese quesadillas, which he said she ordered in Spanish.

Along with their work at the orphanage, which Mr. Turner did not identify, the teenagers trooped through all the tourist spots in Oaxaca, a handsome colonial city set in a blue-green valley steeped in pre-Columbian culture. They toured Zapotec archaeological sites and visited nearby villages famous for producing black pottery and fantastical wood carvings called alebrijes.
