Santorum's cyberkids
Sen. Rick Santorum (R-PA) comes up for reelection in 2006, and most Democrats are eager to knock him off. You may recall he's the guy who equated homosexual sex pedophilia and bestiality.
Hopefully, then, the Democrats will be able to pound on the fact that Santorum in so out of touch with the state of Pennsylvania that he doesn't even live there anymore, and claims residence only to bilk the state out of money to school his children:
A suburban Pittsburgh school district is reviewing whether it should be paying for U.S. Sen. Rick Santorum's children to use its Internet-based school, since the Pennsylvania senator and his family live in Virginia.
The Penn Hills district has spent $100,000 educating the Republican's children since 2001-02, said Erin Vecchio, a school board member who requested the review. She also is head of the local Democratic committee.
"I'm concerned because (he is) taking away from my kid. That $100,000 … could be going to my kids, a computer or something," said Vecchio, who has three children enrolled in Penn Hills schools.
It's gonna be a fun race in 2006.
