The GOP's poster boy for ethics, Ricky Santorum, isn't all that clean himself



| Reddit | Tumblr | Digg | FARK

For all his sanctimoniousness, Rick Santorum really is a pig. Read what Will Bunch wrote. Here's a taste:

SEN. RICK SANTORUM and his wife received a $500,000, five-year mortgage for their Leesburg, Va., home from a small, private Philadelphia bank run by a major campaign donor - even though its stated policy is to make loans only to its "affluent" investors, which the senator is not.

Good-government experts said the mortgage from The Philadelphia Trust Co. raises serious questions about Santorum's conduct at a time when he is the Senate GOP's point man on ethics reform. They said it would be a violation of the Senate's ethics rules if Santorum received something a regular citizen could not get.
Hey, let's be realistic. Ricky is probably way too busy obsessing about gay sex to focus on mundane matters like ethics.
