Uhhh.
My friend just pointed me to this page because of the picture (which is awesome, btw), so I know I'm a stranger -- but I must say I love your icon!
(credit to <lj user="neph13">)
Hehehehe....
Is that the chick that audibly FLIPPED OUT in the background when he was making his concession speech?
Man, I never thought about his poor kids. They're going to require SO MUCH therapy once they finally come out of the closet.
And Rick won't?
No... I always assumed he would just commit suicide. Death before dishonor.
Did somebody else get caught having gay sex again?
Oh. I see, it's just Rick Santorum.
Never mind.
His son reacted with more spite than sadness, however.
Priceless.
"The people have spoken...the bastards!"
I know it's wrong to laugh at crying children, but seeing this live on MSNBC & CNN was comedy gold.
I make t-shirts and am trying to decide which design to use to honor Santorum's showing last night.
or
I have a poll running here: http://fatherbingo.livejournal.com/395971.html
Man, I love that picture. She's wearing a matching outfit with her doll. Which one of the kids is going to be a serial killer, I wonder?
All of them, since he brought his wife's miscarried fetus home from the hospital so they could say goodbye to it.
I thought this was a joke but, uh, holy shit, you were serious!
I'm pretty sure she just googled "santorum" a few minutes before they went on stage. I'd cry too if I were her.
I dunno, but the creepy, vacant stare on his son is making me lean towards...well, all of them.
I would like to point out that the son bears a striking resemblance to Elijah Wood as seen in Sin City.
I totally thought this picture was a joke, not the real thing. . . . I guess they didn't practice putting on a good game face since they expected to win. . . . d'oh!
This looks like something from a Tim Burton movie. I didn't believe it was real life until I found a source. It's just too perfect a mockery of what you expect an insane Jesusland concession speech photo to look like.
according to wikipedia, her name is sarah maria and she was born in 1998 so she is 7 or 8 right now. but damn, she looks like 14...
i feel compelled to include this excerpt:
That is one tall 8 yr old. She totally looks 11 or 12.
I was just thinking "uhh isn't that girl really old to be holding a matching doll like that?"
I think its the angle of the pic that makes her look so big. In the video below she looks more her age. The angle also makes it look like she has man hands and giant arms.
that is completely psycho
Great, now I'm not going to be able to sleep tonight. Thank you very much.
OMG, I think I'll never sleep again.
Bible-trash. Good riddance.
YOU DON'T EVEN LIVE HERE
Hah. People say that to the US government all they time, it's not like they pay attention.
Um. Unless Richmond, VA recently moved within my Commonwealth, neither do you. So shut the fuck up.
Well, I do happen to vote in Pennysylvania, and I would also say "good riddance". Though I think he's just a bizarre religious freak, who must belong to some insane church. I am a person of faith, and while I see Santorum as having some sort of faith, it's not like any kind of faith _I_ can claim to understand. The guy is a nut.
"WAAAH! Now I'll have to sleep my way into Harvard! WAAA!"
One less shit stain.
His son looks like a serial killer...
Nope. He just saw Foley walk into the room.
If this was reddit, you'd get an upvote.
from Rick's blog:
Ewwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww
While I agree, the picture is priceless;
you gotta feel bad for his little girl... from various perspectives. Please, stop breeding, pRick.
*heart* your icon!
i dont know what is scarier- the daughter wiping her snot on daddy's sleeve or my fear that her doll will come to live and kill audience...
Glorious.
Meanie!
sowwy :(
Not cool.
Making fun of a crying child is wrong. Inviting others to do the same by parading her picture on the internet is even more so. Not to mention distasteful.
This is the internet. We thrive on wrong.
Thanks for clarifying, Mr. Gore.
What kind of a parent drags their children along to that kind of a press conference knowing that this could happen? Re-aim that blame.
Just because Santorum is a bad parent, it doesn't mean his 8 year old daugther deserves to be publicly ridiculed.
because someone did something ridicule-worthy in public doesn't mean they should be publicly ridiculed.
A crying 8-year-old is ridicule-worthy?
dressing your kids like that and/or parading them out in a concession speech is ridicule-worthy.
Those are the actions of Santorum, not the girl.
You're new here, aren't you?
Yes, my lobotomy is yet to be performed.
I think I love you.
It's nutters like you that make Jamies blog fun!
1. Children make fun of each other the whole time, if it were really damaging there wouldn't be a sane adult on the planet.
2. Children that age are prone to over emotional outbursts, ridiculing it is just another way of keeping it in check. Shit, excluding the last 60 years, parents have been beating their children for less.
3. Unless the kid regularly surfs to jwz.livejournal.com she's not going to know about it - so, what, are you protecting us from ourselves?
Boldra
I question your assumption that there is a sane adult on the planet.
Your points are irrelevant. Moreover, 2 and 3 contradict each other.
1. We don't have children making fun of children here. We have adults mocking a crying 8-year-old.
2. Oh, so this is all for her own benefit then. My bad.
3. But damn, how is she going to get the full benefit of ridicule therapy? Someone send her a link to this post, quick!
1. Adults? Here? I suppose you believe people in chatrooms when they say that they're 18/F/NY. But exactly what difference would it make anyway?
My statements in 2 and 3 don't contradict each other at all. Because I suggested that being snickered at could benefit the little brat, suddenly you think I'm her therapist and this is child support blog. I'm not her shrink, and I don't give a shit how well behaved she is, or whether she grows up to be the next Paris Hilton. My laughter is for my benefit, not for hers, and sure as fuck not for yours!
Before you start accusing someone of logical inconsistency, maybe you'd better read page or two about logic. Possibly the definition of the word "mock" would interest you too.
Boldra
Possibly the definition of the word "mock" would interest you too.
Ooh. You must be implying one of us needs an English lesson. Well, I agree:
Main Entry: mock
Pronunciation: 'mäk, 'mok
Function: verb
Etymology: Middle English, from moker
transitive verb
1 : to treat with contempt or ridicule : DERIDE
2 : to disappoint the hopes of
3 : DEFY, CHALLENGE
4 a : to imitate (as a mannerism) closely : MIMIC b : to mimic in sport or derision
Hey, at least you learned something today.
My point being that you don't "treat with contempt", "disappoint the hopes of" etc in someone's absence. Mocking is something you do TO a person.
But I think this is really wasted on you, you will probably write another entire response addressing one comma in my reply or something equally unimportant.
"Oh won't somebody PLEASE think of the children!"
That's mocking.
Boldra
Well, your point is wrong. One of the meanings of "to mock" is synonymous with "to ridicule".
you will probably write another entire response addressing one comma in my reply or something equally unimportant
Oh. I thought you did that.
Cause I just checked and I wasn't the one who started the discussion on the precise semantics of "mock" vs. "ridicule".
I think both of you should get a room and sit down together with a nice steaming cup of STFU. Ok? Ok.
I know it isn't cool, but I still gotta laugh. I'm bad.
That poor girl didn't have any clue her dad was behind in the polls until 30 seconds before the speech.
"You're on, Senator... er, Rick."
"For fuck's sake, I gotta tell my family. Give me a minute... okay, honey, daddy has some bad news for you."
since politics may have distracted you from our robot overlords:

As a resident of Pennsylvania, and someone who voted against Rick three times, I would like to take this opportunity to say... You're Welcome. :)
the son on the right kooks like 80% of the creepy germanic scientist/badguys in movies.
also, he's using a wireless microphone on his podium. I'm puzzled by that.
Wires are a tool of satan.
Nah, he was just thinking how bad he was going to get his ass beaten at school next day.
"Oh my God, tomorrow's going to make Three O'Clock High look like Romper Room."
It should be obvious by looking at the photo, but those kids are all home-schooled.
[of course, maybe you know that and this was a dig at Santorum... in which case, *woosh*]
Hahahahahahahaha.
There's a new Ghey Bahr in Seattle and the locals want to call it "Santorum" since "Pulse" and "Sugar" were too ghey.
http://www.thestranger.com/blog/2006/03/name_that_gay_b.php
I think it would be fitting.
Ahh see.. now this is why I got into photojournalism.
Is it just me or does his son on the right look like someone just shoved something up his butt?
"Dad? Is that you?"
having a family like that, rick shouldn't argue about incest.
is the gene pool in jesusland that limited?
That's what happens after too many 'begats'.
