Like Dog Crap On A Shoe

It just won't go away. You scrape it off but then later you get a whiff . . . . From today's in box, Rick Santorum begging for money for his new PAC:

Dear Friends,

The 2006 election has long been over, and these last few months since departing the Senate have been a great adventure for me. I've discovered a new and exciting path filled with opportunities to discuss the issues that I have long believed are critical to our nation's future.

As you may recall, during my Senate campaign, I spoke at great length about the Gathering Storm of the 21st Century -- the challenges that I and many others believe are posed by radical Islamic fascism and its growing alliances around the world. I gave numerous speeches about the threats our enemies pose, and I didn't shy away from this topic despite the overwhelming political wisdom telling me to change course. And looking back, despite the outcome of my Senate race, I am more convinced than ever that educating the American public about our enemies and raising awareness about the threats our country faces isn't just right, it's an obligation.

We cannot underestimate the threats we face from those who wish to do us harm. Hugo Chavez in Venezuela, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad in Iran, and North Korea's Kim Jong-il are committed to destroying the West and th. . . .

You get the idea. It ends with a request for money.
