Continuing to beggar belief

[scarfman]

I websearched it and apparently it's true: Santorum states women wanting equality are to be treated as if they have a mental disorder.

Edit: According to Snopes this isn't true.

As much as I'm NOT a Santorum supporter nor apologist, I fear this is a fictitious quote (at least, according to Snopes):

Ooo, thanks.

I think the fact that it's plausible someone would actually say that is the worst part.

I found it perfectly plausible that he'd say it. The quote's actually from a satire site. At the same time, when he didn't say it, I don't want to propagate misinformation.

Yeah, that's my problem - that it's even plausible that anyone, let alone someone running for President, would say such a thing. Maybe it's just my cynicism talking. :)

Seconded. Santorum is so sanctimonious that it makes statements like this plausible. *shudder*
