The Rick Santorum Logic Lives On

Former Senator Rick Santorum of Pennsylvania will probably never live down the day he compared bestiality to consensual sex between two people of the same gender. The incident has been mocked over and over again. It may not have been the statement that finished off his Senatorial career, but it certainly didn't help him. Now it seems he has a like-minded friend in Kathryn Jean Lopez of The National Review. Here we go again!

From Oliver Willis:

National Review's Kathryn Jean Lopez has a Rick Santorum moment and says the reason a bestiality case happened in Massachusetts is because of gay marriage. Conservatism and bigotry, their status as synonyms just hasn't been officially recognized yet. By the way, Lopez is Mitt Romney's biggest supporter at National Review, any surprise?

Well I hope the Romney connection doesn't have anything to do with her love for dogs. That would just be, um, disgusting. Still, her comments are disgraceful and tasteless. Lopez clearly lacks humanity for people she refuses to understand, probably due to her intolerance and ignorance of people outside her immediate D.C. bubble.
