Santorum to Female Soldiers: Don't Get Your Panties in a Bunch

We've been mostly pre-occupied with Romney and Gingrich in our examinations of the GOP nomination race but with Santorum once again gaining momentum, we, unfortunately, have to pay attention to the esteemed asshole from Pennsylvania. Yesterday, he gave everyone a reminder of just how retrograde his beliefs are when asked about the Pentagon's announcement that it plans to put more women near the front lines. I'll let the linked blog post and accompanying video do the heavy lifting but it essentially boils down to Santorum thinking that women's "emotions" would be problematic in combat. This primitive screwhead is currently polling second in the nomination race.
