Sometimes I think Rick Santorum is just a really elaborate Onion spoof. There is no better evidence of this theory than what Jezebel is referring to as Pink Ballgate. Yesterday, at a campaign event at a Wisconsin bowling alley, Santorum was heard advising a young man not to use a pink bowling ball when it was his turn. Especially not on camera. (Why? Because pink bowling balls cause gayness?) A Reuters reporter overheard Santorum tell the boy, ”You’re not gonna use the pink ball. We’re not gonna let you do that. Not on camera.” He also reportedly added, “Friends don’t let friends use pink balls.” I mean, c’mon. I know that Santorum isn’t a made-up politician designed to point out the ridiculousness of the extreme right; I know he’s a real man with a somewhat real shot at the nomination, but I just can’t handle quotes like this. If the facepalming continues, I am going to have welts. [Raw Story, Jezebel]
