Frothing his way to irrelevance.
So remember how Rick Santorum made a dumbass racist statement about black people being on welfare? Sure you do. I wrote about it here. Well, he appeared on Fox News with Bill O’Reilly today, and when asked about his comments, rather than say, “Hey, I shouldn’t have said that, and in fact, more white folks are on welfare than black folks, so oops my bad!” Santorum flailed around and claimed that he didn’t say “black people,” but rather said, “blah” people.
Listen here, Frothman, no one is buying this load fecal matter:
Shorter Rick: I would never make a statement about black people on welfare. I gave a commencement address at an HBCU once! (HBCU, for those who don’t know, stands for “Historically Blah Colleges and Universities.”) Just talking about them makes me feel all… blah.
So we’ve got Newt telling blahs to get a job, and Frothman lying about whether he made comments about blah people being on welfare, and all of it makes me feel pretty BLARGH. I mean, come on! It’s far too early for this kind of dumbassery! Pace yourselves, people. Don’t let all the stupid out before you hit the primary.
And by the way, where do these mythical blah people come from? Blahfrica? The Blah Sea? And does that make me Angry Blah Lady now? Suddenly I’m filled with crushing ennui.
Le sigh.

I really don’t know what to think any more about the GOP race. Between the Gingrich crack about “demanding paychecks”, the Tea Party calling Romney a “walking hypocrite” and Santorum’s blah moment, they must be wishing they could resurrect Reagan.
For all the love they shower upon Reagan’s name, they probably wouldn’t let the man in the party. He’d be too “liberal” for them. Damned commie was once a union organizer!
More white people on welfare than blacks?
Newt should make sure he invites them to the jobs vs food stamps class too.
“The sheriff is near.” I guess the idea of saying “I screwed up, and said something I shouldn’t have. It was truly offensive, I apologize and it won’t happen again.” never entered their minds. Because right now, this is about as believable as Obama going to Mars as part of a secret DARPA project.
Norbrook, get out of my head! I was just going to look for a video of that scene.
Sorry! (no, not really). :-D
As much as I try to be sensitive to language that offends people, I draw the line when it comes to my 30′th Anniversary edition copy of Blazing Saddles. It’s still funny.
We could always point out that we were privileged to hear Santorum give a sterling example of authentic Republican gibberish.
They’re running out of flavors of the week fast, aren’t they?
Yeah. Too bad they all taste like…well, the Frothy Mix.
Is anyone really buying this AT ALL?
I’ve already been tweeted at by people who believe it.
What HBCU would give this Howdy Doody looking, race-baiting creep a time slot to speak to their graduates? Was David Duke busy?
Must have been Jiggaboo U, or Token Tech

You forgot Porch Monkey State and Sambo College.
You two crack me up. “Jiggaboo U.”
I’m shocked that the Uncle Tom Institute of Technology has yet to be mentioned. I mean really, this kind of fuckery is right up their alley. :p
My guess would be Cheyney or Lincoln when he was a PA Senator. Or maybe the fool thought Temple was an HBCU.
Lets not forget the College of Steppin Fetch and Coon State, I hear the marching band is bananas
A former aide whose black and gay is defending the Santorum………

Must be an alum of the College of Steppin Fetch, School of Self Hating
Awwwwwww . . .
I’m blah y’all, and I’m blah y’all, and I’m blaher than blah, and I’m blah y’all.
I’m blahedy blah blaher than blah, blah I’m blaher than blah, yo! Because I’m blah and I’m BACK!
Good Lord, these people are insane!
I don’t understand the outrage, or why people think he’s lying. Let’s face it: African-Americans are pretty blah.
So is Limbaugh going to chime in and remind us that President Obama is really only half-blah?
Fuck you frothy-mix, why are you hating on Vampire-Americans?
As a paid member of BASS (Blaughs Against Santorum Spew) I highly resent that little twerp making disparaging comments about us. It’s easy to talk smack on the porch with your klavern buddies, but how brave will you be when your out on the street with nothing but that dead baby in your pocket and your derp to back you up, heheh.
I want to see him become the nominee so Barry can wipe the walls with him, yessiree.
Blahgger, please! I hope that the NAACP meeting is held on the top floor of the Chrysler building. Ole Newt has an invite and quick exit, courtesy of the blahs…
LAC says:
Blahgger, please!
Ok…..I’m done, BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
I really hope this clown gets nominated. I hope and pray and plead to God every day that this asshole gets the nod. I don’t want shit like this to make him “irrelevant”. I want it to make him the hero of the right wing, so the whole country can see for the next 10 months what the Republican Party has become. I hope Santorum–or if not Santorum then Gingrich–becomes the face of Republicanism. After a steady 10-month stream of shit out of this dickwad’s mouth, even zeros like Richard Cohen and Charles Lane will wake up and stop telling us that “Both sides do it!” I’d also like to say how sad it makes me that the party that nominated Abraham Lincoln has sunk to this.
