Kenndy and Kerry jumped on Santorum's confirmation of his previous outrageous remarks about the Boston priest pedophile scandals. Kennedy went as far as criticizing Santorum on the Senate floor and asking for him to apologize to the people of Boston and Massachusetts. The daft governor of Massachusetts, Mitch Romney, apparently is still thinking that the wingnuts will somehow allow a northeasterner to be a serious presidential candidate so he completely wimped out (and sucked up to the wingnuts) by leaving it to his spokesman.
"Senator Santorum is a fine person, and we're all entitled to make a mistake once in a while," [Eric] Fehrnstrom said.Gosh, don't go too far out on a limb there no matter how nuts Santorum's remarks were. Kennedy and Kerry were every-so-slightly more critical. I'm still curious what Santorum has to say about the countless other scandals in the US including in Philadelphia, a city in the state that he represents. It's a long list though and such scandals are around the globe so Ricky has plenty more towns and countries to attack.
"The people of Boston are to blame for the clergy sexual abuse? That is an irresponsible, insensitive and inexcusable thing to say," said Kennedy.
Senator John Kerry, D-Mass., commented, "As a prosecutor in Massachusetts, I saw some of the worst criminals who had abused children and not once did I hear them hide behind Senator Santorum's bizarre claim that the state was responsible for their acts."
