Oh, Ricky.

Rick Santorum is pissed at Piers Morgan:
Presidential candidate Rick Santorum defended his position on gay marriage Tuesday while speaking to students at Pennsylvania State University, and slammed CNN's Piers Morgan for questioning him as a "bigot" in a pre-taped interview that aired Wednesday night.

"I had Piers Morgan call me a bigot, because I believe what the Catholic Church teaches with respect to homosexuality," Santorum said, heatedly. "So now I'm a bigot because I believe what the Bible teaches."

Santorum said he subscribes to the Catholic Church's teachings, which deem homosexuality a sin.

Morgan argued that people have a difficult time coming out because "of the level of bigotry that's out there against them."

"And I have to say that your views you've espoused on this issue are bordering on bigotry, aren't they?" Morgan asked, adding that society has evolved in how it views homosexuality.

Santorum countered that the Church's position is founded on more than 2,000 years of history. To adapt those beliefs based on the changing ways of society, he said, would be immoral.
I didn't see the interview.  Does anybody know if Morgan followed up by asking if Santorum also believes in slavery and stoning women for wearing white after Labor Day?  Seems legitimate, no?  I'd say it's because like most Republicans he cherry-picks the Bible as he does socialism, but I also have no idea how dry ice works, so what the hell do I know?  Hey, you want another Xmastime post?  You got it!!

Also, is there anything funnier than seeing "presidential candidate" next to "Rick Santorum"?  Comedy fucking gold!
