Santorum Shoots (his mouth) but doesn't quite score

According to Rick Santorum the main stream media lies about him and his record whenever they report on a story about his involvement in an issue and don't take his opinion as gospel truth. As he told John Baer in last Friday's Philly Daily News:

"The mainstream media has fundamentally ignored my record and chronically does so. If you don't tell what goes on, that's not telling the truth."

In other words, as Baer points out, Santorum thinks that by reporting he used an inappropriate allusion to Nazis in comparing filibustering Democrats to Hitler's occupation of Paris (especially if you point out he ripped Robert Byrd's Nazi reference), don't report that Terri Schiavo was a woman "executed" for being disabled, or imply that any Gitmo detainee has been mistreated, you're not telling the truth as Rick Santorum knowsdecides it which means you're lying.

Capitol Buzz latched on to the article about the Senator from PVA which is drawing attention because it trotted out this oldie but goodie. In the Catholic Online article, Santorum blamed the media and academia for the sexual molestation scandal that rocked the Catholic Church:

"It is startling that those in the media and academia appear most disturbed by this aberrant behavior, since they have zealously promoted moral relativism by sanctioning "private" moral matters such as alternative lifestyles. Priests, like all of us, are affected by culture. When the culture is sick, every element in it becomes infected. While it is no excuse for this scandal, it is no surprise that Boston, a seat of academic, political and cultural liberalism in America, lies at the center of the storm

Santorum may want to check which dioscese across the world have been rocked by this scandal, he may find pretty substantial claims in some pretty conservative places and that some of this abuse has been going on for decades (if not centuries) and it's not due of: liberalism, lack of "real" religion, a gay problem (them damn mos trying to hide in the church are getting the church in trouble), or any other asinine thing he may want to fart out of his mouth (but keep going Ricky, I love having a good laugh at your expense).
