Santorum Fouls Out

Sen. Rick Santorum today said Democrat claims about Republican efforts on the filibuster rule were "the equivalent of Adolf Hitler" doing something bizarrely unrelated to filibusters.

Santorum is instantly ejected from the game for a violation of the "Hitler rule." That rule reads, "in any political debate, the person who first compares his opponents to Nazis and or Hitler instantly forfeits the argument and serves a one-game suspension while he cools his jets." Or something.

Santorum better get his act together if he hopes to get a third term. He's polling poorly in a key region of the state. His opponent is a Casey -- a name that goes a long way in Pa. politics -- and a conservative Democrat, to boot. We love those up here. They used to be a Southern specialty, but no longer. It was Carville, after all, who described Pennsylvania as Philadelphia on one end, Pittsburgh on the other and Alabama in between.
