Santorum is the gift that keeps on giving of Republican presidential candidates.
First, he gave Dan Savage the honor of Google-bombing him.
Then, he gave us countless opportunities to make fun of his poopy nickname, including a poster that looked like it was written in Santorum.
And now, he gives us Pink-Bowling-Ball-gate.
How about we take this to the next level?
Our newsletter is like a refreshing cocktail (or mocktail) of LGBTQ+ entertainment and pop culture, served up with a side of eye-candy.
While bowling at some dumb photo op in La Crosse, Wisconsin, Santorum told a young man next to him: “You’re not gonna use the pink ball. We’re not gonna let you do that. Not on camera.”
Santorum added, “Friends don’t let friends use pink balls.”
Probably because pink balls turn you GAY, obviously. Let’s take a look through the types of pink balls that you and your heterosexual friends must avoid in order to not catch the gay.
Click through for some homosexuality-inducing pink balls.
Slightly Gay Ball Pit
Santorum allows any of the balls—EXCEPT FOR THE FIVE PINK ONES. Can you find them all? Now, don’t touch them kids, or you’ll catch the gaypox.
Gayness Is Communicable Through Static Electricity, Too
Looks like a $14.99 toy from Spencer’s that you’d get your shroom-y friend Bob. Actually could turn him bi-curious.
There Is No Hope For This Baby
That ball has turned her 100% lesbian. Might as well put a Subaru Outback in trust for her already.

Off camera? This closet case has issues.

If pink balls turn you gay than what does a yellow ball turn you? Or a red ball? Or a BLUE BALL? What color ball is safe for my children to use???

Forced pelvic exams to root out unpopular balls will be on the Republican agenda. “We’re not gonna let you do that.” should be the repub’s slogan for this century.

Santorum and lick my pink balls.
Stupid
Yeah, I’ve seen Santorum all over pink balls, many times. What’s the deal? (Seriously, pink-phobia in a grown man is ridiculous … and a clear sign of “she doth protest to much, girlfriend.”)

“Friends don’t let friends use pink balls.”
Because they’d want it for themselves?

@Kristopher: @Belize: Thanks for the chuckle. Those were great.

Santorum probably figured that if he was seen in a game with a pink bowling ball, it would be filmed and picked up in a series of ads or jokes making fun of him. What’s not clear is whether he realizes why so many people are making fun of him – the idiotic things he says.

That’s coming from a guy who believes tampons lead girls down the path of evil…

They had a sex expert on NPR today talking about Santorum’s “position” on pornography. The expert’s opinion was that either Santorum is incredibly uninformed or he is lying through his teeth – the available data are not consistent with Santorum’s stated opinion.
The problem (for Santorum) is that when the availability of porn in the U.S. substantially increased, the yaerly cases of rape, etc. started to drop. Santorum’s opinion suggest that those cases should have increased instead.

@B: You don’t think a little thing like the truth will stop any bible thumper do you, if it did there would be no absence based sex ed and the U.S. would have a lower teen pregnancy and std rate.

Why can’t gay men behave like normal men? And pornography is gross. Put some clothes on.

santorum can go lick my taint!

The repubs are fighting birth control, yet Viagra is covered. This ninny, Santorum, says if a woman is raped, she should, “Make the best of the situation and consider this baby a gift from God.” He’s such a whack-job that he loses his cool over a reporter misquoting him. Imagine a man with this demeanor in charge of Nukes.

Hey, J. Random Bible Thumper doesn’t get the phrase “lying through his teeth” used on National Public Radio as the only alternative to utter ignorance! You have to really do something to get that sort of reaction.

alley balls are colored by weight and pink is a lighter ball and a better fit for a young person. santorum is a friggin moron but that is no surprise

I could only find three pink balls without my glasses on. Does that mean I have to be demoted to bisexual?
