That's Ed Koch, not David Koch.

"Santorum is nuts," Koch told Klein. "And I say that in a loving way. He is someone who is of the belief that religious obligations that he has can be imposed on other people. Now I don’t mind his imposing on himself the business of no pre-natal care, no abortion. That’s okay from his point of view. But in my judgement it’s nuts to try to impose that on other people of other religions who don’t agree with you."

Koh added, "I admire him as someone who is a true believer from his point of view, but when he takes it to the point where he wants to impose it on other people, like eliminate contraception, if that ain’t crazy. You know, it used to be we did eliminate the right to sell condoms in Connecticut. The Supreme Court said that was wrong. Now what Santorum has said in affect is he would like to see states go back to criminalizing the sale of contraception. I think that’s crazy."

Santorum has said on the campaign trail that he is not interested in banning contraception. But old comments of his have raised eyebrows, and have clearly entered the critical bloodstream.

The interview airs tonight.

1. If america were electing a pope than he'd probably have a good chance of winning because

the backwardness of the cardinals who think like him. But he has no chance in hell of being elected president. Between the 3 stooges that are left (I don't include Paul) holy ricky and cheater newty have no chance in hell.
