Santorum still, quote, lying.

Pennsylvania's Rick Santorum continues to demonstrate how inept the whole Bush Republican pantheon seems when they've been cut off from a docile media and look like damaged goods to their fellow conspirators. You can almost think of the entire administration as a real-live version of a Hollywood caper-gone-wrong genre. Except that this one's costing us hundreds of billions.

Santorum, speaking on Thursday: I had absolutely nothing to do — never met, never talked, never coordinated, never did anything — with Grover Norquist and the — quote — K Street Project.

Oooooh, that's awkward. Because the fabled 'Internets' hosts some video of li'l Rickie and Grover Norquist exchanging pleasantries at a press conference.

To me, the most amusing part of the story is the mental image of Santorum learning of the video and thinking to himself, "What the f***?!? I'm not supposed to be called out on lying!"

There have been all sorts of reports of Santorum completely blowing his cool in the last two weeks or so, and it's pretty apparent that he doesn't have much chance of re-election. So how long do we have to wait for him to start ratting out his partners in corruption a la Abramoff and Cuuningham?
