WAIT a minute...when exactly did Frothy Man-on-Dog WORK in the "coal fields" & "steel mills?"

[Amerigo Vespucci]

Santorum said his upbringing in nearby western Pennsylvania made him particularly qualified to be president.

"We need someone who understands, who comes from the coal fields, who comes from the steel mills, who understands what average working people of America need to be able to provide for themselves and their families," Santorum said.

1. "Kohl, Fields, Steele, and Mille, Attorneys-At-Law"

Right above "Dewey, Cheetahm, and Howe".

4. That's what I thought

Kind of like George W. Bush workin' onna OIL RIG, Stretch...except what he really did was run an oil company his daddy's Saudi buddies handed to him into the ground.

"...someone who understands, who comes from the coal fields, who comes from the steel mills, who understands what average working people of America..."

So in other words, Santorum is suggesting that the Republicans will need to go the brokered convention route?

5. I bet his gardener onced worked in a mine or a mill.

That counts, right?

3. I think it has something to do with having ancestors working in those areas

I have never heard anything about Frothman doing anything for a living, except helping out his rich sponsors in their quest to get richer, and spouting things as if he was (or was seeking to be) Ayatollah of America.

6. I have ancestors who killed and grilled dinosaurs

Looks like I've locked in the caveman vote.

Early Life

Richard John Santorum was born May 10, 1958, in Winchester, Virginia, the second of three children. His father Aldo, an immigrant from Italy, is a psychologist, and his mother, Kay, is a nurse. The family was Catholic and attended church regularly, though Rick later described his parents' religious practice as more dutiful than intense. Both Aldo and Kay Santorum worked for the Veterans Administration; Rick Santorum mostly grew up in suburbs outside Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, but graduated from high school in Illinois. He then attended Pennsylvania State University, where he pledged the Tau Epsilon Phi fraternity and earned a bachelor's degree in political science in 1980. He followed with an MBA from the University of Pittsburgh in 1981.

A lifelong Republican, the conservative Santorum volunteered for Senator John Heinz's campaign while still in college and then worked as an administrative assistant to Republican State Senator Doyle Corman while putting himself through law school at Dickinson School of Law. Santorum earned his law degree in 1986 and started practicing law at Kirkpatrick & Lockhart, where he met his future wife, Karen Garver Santorum, with whom he would eventually have seven children.

9. Sounds like a steelworker to me...NOT!

I saw similar material on Wikipedia.

He's a working man, alright...except I don;t think you can get black lung working as an administrative assistant in a senator's office.

If he gets the nomination, this is gonna be FUN, FUN, FUN till Daddy Obama takes his T-Bird away.

10. Hmm! "Aldo and Kay Santorum worked for the Veterans Administration"

Sounds like socialists to me living on the government.
