Santorum Doesn't Believe in Separation of Church and State

Santorum is a theologian. His religion means everything to him. His intolerance of others who aren't like him is a disease. Santorum said JFK's speech on religion almost made him throw up.

Jan Brewer and Calif. Gov. Jerry Brown also were on Meet the Press today. Brewer was batty as usual. She's endorsing Romney, as if it matters.

And for all the criticism Santorum is getting for saying politics is a team sport, for me, that was the only grown up thing he's said.




And finally, Robert Gibbs:
