“I’m very careful about the colleges and universities our children go to,” Santorum said. “There are schools, I went to one — Penn State — that’s one of the liberal icons, unfortunately it’s gotten a lot worse. I can tell you professor after professor who docked my grades because of the viewpoints I expressed and the papers that I wrote, there’s no question that happened.” “Your grades suffered because of your views at Penn State?” Langton asked “Absolutely, absolutely,” Santorum said. “I used to go to war with some of my professors, who thought I was out of the pale, these are just not proper ideas. This is not something that’s not unusual, folks, I know this may be a surprise to some people … There is clearly a bias at the university.”

Will Santorum release the "Penn State papers" and let us decide whether he should have received an A?

The Shirley Sherrod story was the one time I thought, "This guy's an awful person." I had no specific sense of him outside that, other than he seemed to get very angry very easily.

There was also the time he flipped off a "peace march" outside his hotel because he thought they were anti-Iraq-War. Turns out they were protesting the conscription of children into armies in Africa.

i mean i'm well aware that another troll will pop up in his place but i will not regret never seeing his fucking face on my computer or TV screen again. i mean he's dead now, what the fuck does he care if i said that? if i'd say it while he was alive, it's no worse to say it once he's dead.

DEAR READER: In the first decade of the DRUDGEREPORT Andrew Breitbart was a constant source of energy, passion and commitment. We shared a love of headlines, a love of the news, an excitement about what's happening. I don't think there was a single day during that time when we did not flash each other or laugh with each other, or challenge each other. I still see him in my mind's eye in Venice Beach, the sunny day I met him. He was in his mid 20's. It was all there. He had a wonderful, loving family and we all feel great sadness for them today... MDRUDGE

Sullivan, who seemed to be a friend: "The kind of high stakes in-the-arena 24/7 blogging lifestyle is not always easy on the body or soul." Seems like a rather poor justification (or at least explanation) for behave-however. Every job has its pressures.
― clemenza, Thursday, 1 March 2012 15:53 (twelve years ago) link
I prefer this from Sullivan when he ended up sitting next to Breitbart on a flight:
Breitbart is actually a kind of straight gay: loves pop music, hates rock n roll, lost interest in radio music around the time of grunge (as did I) and now believes there's a revival of joyous pop going on.
See, if he had stuck to poptimism...
