No matter what you think of the President, his bipartisan commission on the deficit, or economic conservatives from big rectangular states with Rockie Mountains in them, I think that after this appearance on "Hardball", we can all agree that Alan Simpson is a mensch. His complete dismantling of Rick Santorum and Newt was classic television fun...
"We have homophobes on our party. That's disgusting to me. We're all human beings. We're all God's children. Now if they're going to get off on that stuff--Santorum has said some cruel things--cruel, cruel things--about homosexuals. Ask him about it; see if he attributes the cruelness of his remarks years ago. Foul."
