Santorum’s Football Fumble and Other Stumbles from the Campaign Trail (Media in full suck mode))

Politics is not a game exactly, but there are rules. And when you break them you're running Politically Foul! Each week, we call the penalties, conversions and downs as we see them on the political playing field. Rick Santorum sprinted into Akron, Ohio this week before checking the playbook. A few miles from the Cleveland Brown's home turf, Santorum attempted to start a pep rally for the Pittsburgh Steelers. His revelry call, "Is this Steelers country?" was met with boos from the crowd. One of the first rules of campaigning…know where you are. Meanwhile, Mitt Romney attempted to lean on some not so recent pop culture at this week's Republican debate, when he paused after an applause line and quipped, "As George Costanza would say, when they are applauding, stop.'

This is getting old anybody who is the front runner is portrayed as an idiot. But nobody ever criticizes Obama’s every day decisions that are killing this nation.

Inasmuch as Santorum is from Steeler Country (Western PA), you would think he would be aware when he is in the camp of the Steller’s arch rival Browns. This is pretty incredible.

Did they give the same amount of play to John Kerry when he went to Michigan and asked if they were all Buckeye fans?

Or to Joe Biden when he says something like this approximately once every 5 1/2 days?

Further down after goofing on Santorum and Romeny, they get to the great Obama...

And back in Washington, President Obama stole the halftime show of a star-studded performance at the White House this week. The not-so-modest Obama received a microphone hand off from Buddy Guy and, despite an initial attempt at a fake out, the President completed the play and joined in the singing of 'Sweet Home Chicago."

What a joke.
