I saw this on Talking Points Memo the other day and had to share it: Rick Santorum Proclaims Himself "A Solid Block of Cheese"
In a campaign stop in Johnston, Iowa, Santorum expressed confidence that after voters got tired of all those flashy other guys, they'd come around and realize his finer qualities.
"...maybe I’m not the flashiest person, I may be a little boring when it comes to, because I’m consistent,” he said. “My record isn’t swiss cheese. I mean it’s solid, it’s a solid block of cheese.”
Well, Rick; as it happens I live in the Land-O-Cheese myself. Where I come from, we wear blocks of cheese on our heads to football games. (Hey, one saved a guy's life in a plane crash once).
And my job happens to involve solid blocks of cheese. The plant I work for processes scrap and rancid cheese leftover from cheese factories into animal feed and catfish bait.
So I know a solid block of cheese when I see it.
And Rick Santorum, you are no block of cheese.
(Although I might start calling you "Catfish Bait." It would be an improvement over some things you've been called.)
