Could this be how there is no picture of him actually "living" in the small 2-bedroom house in Penn Hills, PA, when he was senator? He was living in a 2-million dollar house in Virginia, but charged the Penn Hills School District somewhere between $60 to $70 thousand dollars to cyber-school his children.

Typical disregard for the public by a Republican fraud.

Clarke, Walker, LaPierre, Jindal and Gump, Jr.

Santorum might as well pose in front of Lenin's mausoleum.

Of course, the problem is that, with the exception of his Russian "escort," Santorum thinks that the rest of them DO constitute good company. For that matter, he probably still thinks Butina is good company, too. He just can't admit it publicly any more.

As for Butina, she probably heard the tape five seconds before it self-destructed: "...as always, if you or any member of your team are caught or killed, the (first) secretary will disavow all knowledge of your actions. Good luck, Maria!"

What will happen is that the photo will be posted now in 10 times more places than before. Places that will then post the cease and desist letter from Rick's lawyers, as well.

So, I hope you enjoyed that little side hug you did with Maria Butina, there. You two make a lovely couple.

BTW, you have been tested for STDs, right? I hear there's a nasty Russian strain of herpes going around.
