Rick Santorum Scores Lock On Christian Death Metal Fan Contingent

Are you an erstwhile Satanist who is so deeply and irredeemably lame that you managed to get kicked out of Metallica? That would make you Dave Mustaine, the used-up nuthatch in charge of forgotten heavy metal outfit Megadeth. He has heard of Rick Santorum, finally! Which is reason enough to endorse him, apparently:

"Earlier in the election, I was completely oblivious as to who Rick Santorum was, but when the dude went home to be with his daughter when she was sick, that was very commendable. Also, just watching how he hasn't gotten into doing these horrible, horrible attack ads like Mitt Romney's done against Newt Gingrich, and then the volume at which Newt has gone back at Romney… You know, I think Santorum has some presidential qualities, and I'm hoping that if it does come down to it, we'll see a Republican in the White House... and that it's Rick Santorum."

Enjoy the support of Megadeth's six fans, Rick! [Music Radar]
