Rick Santorum, distort? Noo! Really?

I found this on one of my new favorite Web sites the other day, YouTube. It's Keith Olberman (one of my new TV favorites), uncovering a Rick Santorum lie. I really loved Olberman when he used to team with Dan Patrick for "The Big Show," the 11 p.m. SportsCenter. But I love him more now. His show is quickly reaching "can't miss" status on my TiVo, right along with The Daily Show.

Olberman is unapologetic, dogged, honest and real. And he doesn't have on softball guests to ask dickhead questions. No host of any show is totally without an agenda or bias, but Olberman just seems interested in exposing hypocrisy, most notably that of Bill O'Lielly. And what could be better than that?

It's pretty entertaining to watch an increasingly desperate Santorum resort to lies and innuendo to try to get reelected. He's sided with Bush well over 90% of the time on just about every issue. He thorough embarrassed himself during the Terry Schiavo fiasco. He was on Hannity & Pussy a few weeks ago, insisting that WMDs have been found in Iraq.

So, it's obvious Santorum will do or say just about anything - moves right out of Karl Rove's playbook. As I've said, it's entertaining, but a bit frightening, too, because some people will actually believe his bullshit, and Santorum's got a pretty big war chest.

Go Casey, and thanks, Keith O., for all that you report on. Keep up the good work, and if you haven't checked out his show, do it - he's on MSNBC weeknights at 8. Oh, and check out Tucker, too, a conservative I can actually listen to.
