Those are some ugly-ass kids.

You know at least one of his brood will "catch the gay," and I'm betting its one giving PA the finger for tossing out man-on-dog Santorum. I can't wait until Perez Hilton outs him.

I'm not sure it's good manners to ask this, but I'm going to anyway. Is the girl with the doll that's wearing the same outfit um, you know.... slow?

Why is Harry Potter standing next to Rick? I would have guessed that the Santorums have a pretty strong stance on witchcraft and/or wizardry.

Oh, OK, so you don't get to use obscene hand gestures on CNN, but Santorum's kid gets to use them on Fox?

Um, I'm not sure what that means, but it means something, damn it!

That's a doll? Damn, I thought it was the disembodied head of a fetus, coming to lend its support.

That kid's gonna get a whuppin' after daddy's minions show him that picture.

Freakin' heck, it's the Midwich Cuckoos......don't look into their eyes....don't look into their eyes....

Any thoughts on why Santorum's face is all blurry like that stupid effect that was required to be in every horror/sci fi movie for a couple years? You know, to suggest one is possesed, or an alien, or a ghost? Or a douchebag?

Also, is it just me or is Karen Santorum ever-so-slightly smiling? Maybe she's thanking the father, son and holy ghost that since her husband's out of the Senate she won't have to publically spend the night with any more stillborn fetae.

And with the Santorums, there's bound to be plenty more.

His wife is OK. My friend would hit on her...

So

So where

Well it's safe to assume now he don't use them rubbers.

So where does the fat come from?

Has the missus been giving it up to their chunky neighbor or do the parents have a discount card to fatsuckers?

She's crying because the evil liberals are coming for her dolly's stem cells.

Santorum's other son looks like he's about to climb into a clock tower and start shootin'

Official screenshot?? Where's the meth?

The poor kids are terrified of the massive beating they are going to get at home. Daddy's drinking again, hide!

With Santorum having a gazillion kids and now conceivably moving from VA back to PA, will traffic on the beltway get any better?

This is one of those days where I gladly embrace being a bad person as it allows me to feel OK about laughing at sad children.

"Now, now...Everything's gonna be alright. Everybody into the PT Cruiser; it's gonna be a long drive."

I'm going to have sex to that concession speech.

Oh Happy Day

and Rummy's gone now too ..kicked to the curb..Yippee

The homely offspring on the right looks as if she's about to commit matricide - clearly televised grief isn't the only thing that the Santorum clan feeds on.

The girl at the back and the one leaning on Gruppenfuhrer Santorum both look like they are going to grow up to be real Reichfrau "breeders". The long term demographics of PA look good for the GOP.

Perhaps the creepiest fundie family ever.

Would it be wrong to get a tattoo of that photo?

I'd rather be Santorum's kid than Bush's dog (I know, but it's a near thing) -- what with all of today's vodka tonics, poor Barney's gonna be walking funny tomorrow.

Hey, anyone hear the Santorum "dead baby" story? The first I heard of it was the Harper's piece on the Young Conservatives in the current issue: the gist is that--god I wish I could make this kind of shit up--Santorum brought his dead baby home to his children (instead of, you know, the cemetery?) to hold and kiss before his little body was borne to heaven in angel-drawn chariots or whatever. Not too sure what ordinarily happens to Catholic baby corpses.

Anyway, Wonkette, make that an even twenty-five.

I actually think I like this image a lot better:

I only heard the concession speech on the radio, and thought that for Santorum it sounded oddly -- well, classy. Now it all makes sense: he had junior on hand to provide the subtext.

I know this is a just a stupid blog, but my god you people are evil. I can understand that you don't particularly like Rick Santorum. He lost. Wooopee!

But why are you going after his family?

because he's been going after ours.

so is the flipper crying because his dad's a loser, is it because he knows he's gonna get his ass kicked when he goes back to school, or because he's gonna have to put up with daddy spending more time at home?

maybe he should've brought his doll- the little girl was able to stay bottled up long after he started breaking down.

Why are they going after the family? I don't know - payback for the wingnuts' nasty comments about Chelsea Clinton? What goes around comes around.

Either way, both sides should stop it. The little girl's eight years old. Of course she's going to cry if Daddy doesn't win. Considering who Fate gave her as a father, she deserves our pity, not our contempt.

My two dozen kids hate Rick Sanscrotum's two dozen kids, so we're even. Except that I'm still in my office and he's not. Have a nice afterwife, Ricky!

Bargle: They're "going after his children" because he willingly put them in harm's way. You may still yet save them by offering the protection of your mirthless earmuffage.

T

Don't you think with over two dozen kids to choose from, he could have found some attractive ones to work with?

The kid is not flipping the bird. He's pushing up his glasses. Gloat all you want on Santorum's defeat - he certainly deserves it - but leave his kids out of it. They are only what HE has made of them. Just hope that they find their independence and don't acquire his bigotry.

Santorum's defeat
Ha ha his kids are crying
Jeez, what a douchebag

These comments are disgusting. I know that you don't like Senator Santorum as he has defended traditional morality and opposed gay marriage. However, that does not give anyone a right to mock and personally attack his family. It is typical for family members to be present for a victory or a concession speach and civilized people treat them with respect. Anyone, who mocks these kids has no right to ever criticize anyone for intolerance or bigotry again.

All these children look quite different from each other. Does anyone know who their actual fathers are?

It's one thing to parade your children around during a campaign, but to drag their asses up to the podium at whatever ungodly (heh-heh) hour of the morning (and isn't it a school night - oh, yeah, they don't go to school)so they can blubber all over the stage - this is WAYYYYY beyond the pale. This is respect for the sanctity of life? Is CPS paying attention to this blatant exploitation of children?

if the kids were complete strangers who got caught on-camera, no one would care. the fact that they're santa's own elves doesn't make them safe. doesn't matter who you are, you lose immunity from appearance jokes the moment you go onstage. nobody's claiming that the flipper's a gay page-fucker, just that he's a dweeb of questionable lineage for crying. there's a big difference.

i don't hate his kids, anyway. i hate all kids. rotten little bastards.

I took this photo of Santorum and his family visiting my college in 1994, this is his oldest daughter and she was wearing a dress that matched her mother's, they were smiling and waving with homesewn homeschooled perfection, then the girl fell and scraped her knee and was crying and whining. It was the only photot I took of the event. I loved the contrast of her face and the shiny happy eyes of the man shaking his hand.

Not much has changed it seems.
