Taking It the Liberal Way
13 July 2005
Senator Rick Santorum, Republican of Pennsylvania, knows what gay sex is all about -- "man-on-dog." Now he announces that he knows how liberals are "taking it," too -- the "wrong way," of course. And that, says the Senate's sage of sexuality, explains the sex abuse scandal in the Catholic church (widely known for its liberal sexuality).

Oh, my. The story of Santorum's latest sex advice wouldn't merit Revealer comment were it not for the fact that it begs the question: Why does the press take this man so seriously? That's not a partisan question. After all, we asked the same of liberal God guru Jim Wallis, who, to be fair, never speculates on the favored sexual positions of those he disagrees with. The question is: How many dumb things does a powerful man have to stay before the press starts laughing? And the answer is: Mix in a little religion, liberal or cro-magnon, and the press will kiss your ring until it catches you with a prostitute. Or a dog.
