Who wants to be Santorum?

[banana republican]

PHILADELPHIA — Alex Urevick-Ackelsberg wants to be Rick Santorum.

“It’s just crazy for gays to get married,” he said. “It’s like dogs getting married to a rock.”

Actually, Urevick-Ackelsberg wants to be the first-ever “mockSantorum.” Along with two other contestants, he’ll go for the crown tonight at an event sponsored by Philadelphians Against Santorum (PAS), a group that wears its hatred for the conservative junior senator from Pennsylvania on its sleeves and Web sites.

“I like making fun of Rick Santorum,” Urevick-Ackelsberg said. “I really think that comedy is our biggest vehicle for change. ... I really feel that kind of movement to fight against the fake seriousness of the right by mocking them is really kind of powerful.”

The winner of the mockSantorum competition will be the star of a DVD PAS plans to produce in its campaign against Santorum. The group is aiming for Stephen Colbert, only if he was shooting for Santorum rather than Bill O’Reilly.

1. My favorite line from the article

“We think the best argument against Rick Santorum is Rick Santorum”

And, so funny! Thank you for posting this. I am in PA, and, I can't wait to get rid of this embarrassment as a senator.
