a blog, a good excerpt

"Jottings about local politics in Southeastern PA"

From the Philly2dc.org website (this incident was also mentioned in Paul Krugman's NY Times editorial today)

...... I found this hilarious piece on our good old buddy Rick on the DailyKOS web site

Santorum held a little rally recently touting the Bush Social Security "plan." Here is what happened: "[B]efore the event, Philly DFA began chanting "Hey-hey, ho-ho, Rick Santorum has got to go!" Local college Republicans, who are just about the only Republicans in West Philly, responded with a chant that beautifully was captured live by CNN: "hey-hey, ho-ho, Social Security has got to go!" I love it when the other side does your campaigning for you!

Inside the hall, the biggest applause line of the event was generated early on when Santorum asked a rhetorical question about demographics and funding: "what happens in 2008?" Before he could answer his own question, someone shouted "Bush leaves office," and the room went wild."

Awesome. Thanks for making my day. There's also this poll on Santorum's Web site (thanks jeanette!):
Go to Santorum's web site to vote up or down on privatization of social security. http://santorum.senate.gov/public/
