Santorum defends Foster Freiss's birth control remarks: "He's not creepy."
Santorum claims that Foster Freiss's comment about "gals" putting an aspirin tablet between their knees as contraception was nothing more than "a stupid joke."
OMG. Can it get any more pathetic?

"It was a stupid joke."
That's how former Sen. Rick Santorum (R-Penn.) described a controversial comment made Thursday by one of his biggest backers.
Foster Freiss, a major contributor to a super PAC that supports the GOP candidate for president, was discussing Santorum's stances on social issues like contraception and women's reproductive rights in an interview with MSNBC's Andrea Mitchell when he declared: "Back in my days, they used Bayer Aspirin for contraception. The gals put it between their knees and it wasn't that costly."
"He's not creepy. He's a good man. He's a great philanthropist. He's a very successful businessman," Santorum said. "He told a bad, off-color joke and he shouldn't have done it, but that's his business."

If he admitted what Mr. Freeze said was wrong or that he told him it was wrong that indicates "coordination" between the candidate and his billionaire which is "prohibited" by the new convenulted campaign "finance" laws (:rofl

AFAIK, the more creep the better...the more the voters, especially women, see how draconian these shitstains are the better chance they'll not just reject these losers but the rushpublican party for years to come.
