I will try to explain to you what I think he should have done... what I would have done.
I know what this woman said... Rush quoted her... I would have quoted her own words verbatim and asked Wolf what his definition of her desription of herself was in his opinion. I would then quote Webster’s on the exact English definition. I would have read her blog entry about how she chose George Town because she wanted to challenge the Church on reproductive rights... that is what I would have done.
Rush did all of that yesterday. Santorum should have been better prepared for this question and he either took the easy way out or he was sadly uninformed... and he is running for leader of the Free World. He is not qualified for the office he aspires to and this is just more proof. IMHO, YMMV... this is my opinion and my opinion only.

I happen to agree with Rush Limbaugh. It’s an apt term when you want people forced to pay to fund your sex life. However, this is not something that Santorum can come right out and agree with verbatim. No Republican politician can do this when running for office and expecting a chance to win. A Republican politician running for POTUS can’t call a voter a slut. Even if he did as you said, what would the headlines be? The headlines would go like this, “Santorum Agrees With Rush Limbaugh That Woman Is A Slut.” You know how the media works. If he did that, it would be spread throughout the blogosphere, and it would turn off a lot of people because people look at headlines and media spin instead of context. It would even be posted here by the group of Newt supporters who like to bash Santorum for every reason under the sun. They’d say he puts his foot in his mouth, is an extremist, is a turn off to woman voters, etc.
Calling her a slut will not help Rick. What he needs to do is contiue to do what he has been doing. That is, he needs to be a loud voice against the contraceptive mandate and the anti-Catholic bigotry it entails.
