I believe Rick Santorum was about to call President Obama the n-word in a speech last week. When I listen to a song repeatedly on a CD, I begin to hear the next song on the CD instinctively. That's what happened with Santorum. He's so used to describing the supposed contradictions between Candidate Obama and President Obama in those salty terms, it just comes out naturally.
Remember, Santorum gives his speeches extemporaneously, he's not reading from a teleprompter. That lends more credence to the belief that he was in the middle of calling President Obama the n-word. Also, remember, his "blah people" gaffe. Santorum is no stranger to catching himself int he middle of a racially-motivated verbal attack. He also told Puerto Ricans that they need to learn English if they want to become a state. So, he has a history of racist remarks during this campaign.
Santorum has tried to portray himself as a goodie two shoes. But let us not forget that he unleashed a a swear word at a New York Times reporter not long ago. So salty language spewing from his mouth is not an unknown occurrence.
I's hard to imagine Santorum was about to say anything else. He was searching a noun. What noun starts with "nig" with that specific pronunciation? Then, after catching his mistake, he trails off with a completely unrelated sentence.
We can only hope this spells the end of Santorum's public life.
