I am bad, and I laughed at the serial killer line. <br /><br />Mrs. Sanford was keeping their four young kids far away from that press conference, as far as I can tell from today's reports.Lisa Hirschhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14014924958428072675noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8957911.post-51026967176627461702009-06-25T19:10:46.811-07:002009-06-25T19:10:46.811-07:00Yes it is.

I loathe the fact that in this country especially, politician's families are accessories, to be trotted out for photo ops to show what Good Strong Family Men The Candidate Is. Sanford did that all the time and I think it's pitiful that kids who have no say in the matter get caught in the headlights. <br /><br />I mean, Rick Santorum is a heaving pile of scum and when I saw <a href="http://www.post-gazette.com/images4/2006108rr_santorum_concedePJ_580.jpg" rel="nofollow">this widely-mocked picture</a>, especially for the son who looks like a serial killer in training, I felt no pity for him. The piece of filth worked tirelessly for years to deny me and other GLBT people our rights, I'm *glad* that little girl is crying, I'm *glad* the daughter in back looks like her cat died, it still doesn't come close to equaling the harm that piece of human filth their father inflicted on GLBT people.<br /><br />Sorry, pet peeve, obviously.Henry Hollandhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15871451112170286316noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8957911.post-692424116294735502009-06-25T16:00:43.089-07:002009-06-25T16:00:43.089-07:00Wait, having your family on screen when you conced...Wait, having your family on screen when you concede defeat in an election isn't human-shield stuff.
