Friday, Pittsburgh's two major newspapers each contained stories about Rick Santorum, George Bush and Iraq. The
Pittsburgh Post-Gazette's article was headlined "
Santorum backs Bush on Iraq", while the
Pittsburgh Tribune-Review's column was titled "
Is Santorum undermining Bush?"
Just in case the headlines don't make you suspect that Rick might be playing both sides of the fence on this issue, take a look at the opening paragraphs of the articles.
First, from the
Post-Gazette:
Sen. Rick Santorum yesterday answered questions about his view of the Bush administration's policies in Iraq with a fierce defense of President Bush's course and argued that Americans who are not committed to it don't understand that national security and Western democracy are at risk if the United States fails.
And from the
Tribune-Review:
President George W. Bush says we're winning in Iraq, but he is losing Sen. Rick Santorum.
Mr. Bush's objective and unbiased assessments about the ongoing military and civil operations no longer suffice for the Penn Hills Republican.
Is your head spinning yet? Do you feel nauseous?
I can't wait for this campaign to get hot.
Wake up people. I'm Back.
