Rick Santorum is running out of cash.
He's burned through so much of his own money in his presidential campaign that he has started whining about it. (Insert crying violins here)
"I walked away from all of the jobs that I had and all the money," Santorum said at the Dayton Christian School. He and his wife Karen have been "spending down our savings," he said.
"That's not necessarily the best thing to do when you have three kids entering college in the next three years, but our country is worth it," he said.
Wow! What a guy!
Those three kids will just have to go to trade school because America needs me. As the country recovers from its worst Republican-induced economic disaster since Herbert Hoover what Americans really need is an angry dad to tell them when it's OK to have sex.
It's thinking like that that has Santorum maxxing out his credit cards instead of raking in donations. It's Santorum who has squandered the investment of all that hard-earned lobbying dough.
Santorum had Romney by the short hairs heading into the Michigan primary. All he had to do was scream at the top of his lungs about jobs and his granddad the coal miner. Instead, he told a state full of Catholic voters that America's beloved first Catholic president made him want to throw up.
You deserve to go broke after that, Rick.
But don't worry. There is help out there for wretched financial wrecks like you.
In spite of the best efforts of your party to snuff the program out your kids won't starve. Food stamps are still available.
