Yes, But Has He Read Mein Kampf?

Have they relaxed the rules for being a theocrat?

“I’ve never read the Bible cover to cover; maybe I should have.” - Senator Rick Santorum (R-PA)

With yesterday’s comments comparing Democrats to Adolf Hitler, maybe he’s been spending too much time reading Mein Kampf

And how does Senator Man-on-Dog further his Christian education?

[he] reads magazines and journals offering commentary on religion.

The President has the news explained to him by his staff, and Santorum has the bible explained to him by magazines.

I’d speculate that this might get Santorum in some hot water with his masters, but then I remembered this exchange from Fletch (1985):

Kid: Are you gonna take me to jail for car theft?

Fletch: Why? Did you steal the car?

Kid: I sure did.

Fletch: Well, I’m not even sure that’s a crime anymore. There’ve been a lot of changes in the law.
