In February, I promised you:
A summer full of Flag Burning amendments, English-only education "debates", medicinal wine from a teaspoon, beer from a bottle, Libertine men! Scarlet women! Ragtime! and whatever else the GOP can dredge up from the very bottom of the Conservative Culture War sewer.
In March, as he drowned in the tide wave of Willard Romney's money, Little Ricky Santorum desperately grabbed the English-only life-preserver as he went down for the tihird time (video may be preceded with advertising):
