These guys just get more wacky by the minute. Now it turns out that Senator Rick Santorum has uncovered the cause of the Priest Sex Scandals…and all the blame rests on liberalism in Boston. You can read the complete article here.

But in summary, Santorum believes:

Senator Rick Santorum of Pennsylvania, the third-ranking Republican in the Senate, refused yesterday to back off on his earlier statements connecting Boston’s ”liberalism” with the Roman Catholic Church pedophile scandal, saying that the city’s ”sexual license” and ”sexual freedom” nurtured an environment where sexual abuse would occur.

”The basic liberal attitude in that area . . . has an impact on people’s behavior,” Santorum said in an interview yesterday at the Capitol.

”If you have a world view that I’m describing [about Boston] . . . that affirms alternative views of sexuality, that can lead to a lot of people taking it the wrong way,” Santorum said.

Is it just me, or have these wingnuts finally fallen off the ledge? As Rep. Barney Frank said about Santorum, “This is one of those people who claims to have had eye contact with a blind woman.” (Terry Schaivo case.)
