Chris Wallace takes apart Santorum on Fox News Sunday [View all]

[JBoy]

Damn,

Chris Wallace played actual journalist today, hitting Santorum hard on the subjects of contraception and his (relatively) low levels of charitable contributions. But he delivered a knockout on Ricky's "snob" remark about education. (Video at link)

Wallace brought up the candidate’s comments that Obama is a “snob” for wanting to send everyone to college. Wallace played a clip of what Obama actually said, and then highlighted a selection from his website when he was running for reelection to the Senate in 2006. Wallace pointed out that what Santorum has been saying on education is not that different from what Obama’s been saying. Santorum justified the discrepancy thusly:

“Maybe I was reading some things that… I’ve read some columns where, at least it was characterized that the president said we should go to four-year colleges. If I was in error on that, I certainly… if you say you haven’t found that, I’ve certainly read that. If it was in error, then I agree with the president.”

Even the freepers are conceding Santorum took a beating:

* Yeah, I just saw Chris Wallace take Santorum apart big time. He also defended Obama. This election is over for me. Good luck with a 2nd Obama term Fox.

* .... Time to stick a fork in it Rick!!

* I saw the interview, and boy, that was a disaster for Santorum. It was as if he was continually receiving jabs to the nose and falling back further with each. Wallace even brought up Santorum’s last several years of tax returns and pointed out that he gave only 1 to 2% to charity.

* If Rick cannot handle Chris Wallace than he is toast. The media will crucify him.
