Rick Santorum weighing a future with Fox
You just suffered the largest defeat by a Senate incumbent in a quarter of a century. What are you going to do now? Disneyland? Heck no. You're gonna do television. U.S. Senator Rick Santorum is in negotiations with Fox News Channel to appear as one of the network's political analysts or, as an undisclosed source told Patriot News, to be a "screamer." Defeated by Democrat Bob Casey Jr. in last month's election, Santorum has been weighing his post-Congressional career. He'll be making the rounds on the conservative lecture circuit, and deals with CNN, MSNBC and Fox have all been mentioned. Fox, not unexpectedly, is leading the rumor pack. The Pennsylvania Republican is an extremely divisive and vocal figure - having made public statements comparing homosexuality to bestiality and pedophilia and suggesting that Hurricane Katrina victims be penalized for trying to ride out the storm rather than vacating New Orleans earlier. On the less easily reviled side, the last bill he authored dedicates $945 million to autism research.
Should Santorum sign with Fox, they'll probably have to do something about his web presence. The first thing you get when you google Santorum's last name is sex advice columnist Dan Savage's approved definition of "santorum" - "the frothy mixture of lube and fecal matter that is sometimes the byproduct of anal sex."
