And to think, some say the traditional media are out of touch with America.

Have the editors at the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette never searched on the esteemed former senator's name?

1. Headline writers just looooooooove irony...

I bet it's deliberate..

8. It's a dying art

There used to be a couple of hidden jokes on the front page of the NYT every week.

2. I can see their point....

If you look at him, he is as backwards as Bachmann and Cain, and he's white. He really should be neck and neck for the batshit crazy vote with Perry right now.

3. WP: Santorum handing out jars of homemade Santorum jelly.

Really, you can't make this stuff up!

Hilarious Piece About Santorum in the Washington Post
Check it out:

Santorum hasn’t been running against Barack Obama. He’s been running against Dan Savage, a syndicated sex columnist. It’s hard to blame him. His opposition to Obama is theoretical. But thanks to Dan Savage, his name is quite literally mud.

Wait for it...

He’s trying all kinds of things. Yesterday, he showed up at an event and handed out free jars of homemade Santorum jelly. If you’re aware of his Google problem, you will realize how horrifyingly awkward this must have been.

Awesome. So awesome. Read the whole thing

"But he isn’t even doing the same thing at this point. He’s trying all kinds of things. Yesterday, he showed up at an event and handed out free jars of homemade Santorum jelly. If you’re aware of his Google problem, you will realize how horrifyingly awkward this must have been.

It was like he was doing it on purpose — and it didn’t even make headlines!

But what can you do? At a certain point you either surrender, call off the dogs, and go sit somewhere wracked with the vague sense that Things Might Have Gone Differently But For Google, or you double down. He ought to put on a cape and run around campaign stops screaming, “You want Santorum? I’ll show you Santorum! Grab some jelly!” But I doubt even that would work."

5. does it have sort of a salty, nutty flavor?

[Kennah]

4. Where is the EPA? Isn't Santorum a biohazard?

[Warren DeMontague]

6. I think I just threw up a little

and yet, I'm laughing.

[Monk06]

7. I think we have gotten beyond, 'frothy mixture', 'Honey butt love liquor' suits Santorum better.

Edited to add, Santorum wouldn't have this problem if he
had the intelligence of an average adult.
