Rick Santorum joins WingNutDaily


I saw this news elsewhere, but I love Mario Piperni's illustration - all of his illustrations, in fact - so I'll let him tell it:
This is a wonderful match.
Rick Santorum has joined WorldNetDaily, a conspiracy theory blog best known for its indefatigable work advancing the birther movement, as an exclusive columnist.

The former Pennsylvania senator, who was voted out of office in 2006, will use the perch to remain in the conservative consciousness as he eyes another presidential bid in 2016. His column will be featured on the site every Monday.

Santorum joins WorldNutDaily’s infamous cast of winguts, bigots, religious extremists and village idiots. Sharing space with the likes of Chuck Norris, Ann Coulter, Pat Buchanan, Alan Keyes, Pat Boone and Pamela Geller, Ricky should be well prepared to take another stab at the Republican nomination in 2016. Looking forward to those debates.

Oh, god, yes! And do we really have to wait three years for those debates to begin? Republicans are already positioning themselves for a presidential run in 2016, already campaigning in every sense but an official announcement.

So why can't we start the Republican debates now? (I can wait for the Democratic debates, no problem.) Cartoonists and comedians and humorists of all stripes would love that, and so would I. Please, please, please?

PS. Note that Rick Perry is also considering another run in 2016. Oh, this could be so good,... assuming that none of them actually get elected, of course.
