No, it's not 2003 all over again; Dan Savage and Rick Santorum really are once again engaged in a moral holy war of wits (well, one side possesses wits). The lop-sided wits and a prayer for the damned, after the jump!
First up, Santorum is so concerned with Dan's soul (and sex life, let's be real), that he's committed to praying for the outspoken columnist. Asked by Mother Jones what he would do if he ever met Savage in the real world and away from Grindr or Scruff or whichever gay cruising GPS app the presidential candidate enjoys, Santorum said:
I would tell him that I'm praying for him. He obviously has some serious issues. You look at someone like that who can say and do the things that he's doing and you just pray for him and hopefully he can find peace.
But Savage doesn't need your prayers, Santorum, thankyouverymuch. In response, Savage told Mother Jones:
Rick Santorum thinks that women who have been raped should be compelled—by force of law—to carry the babies of their rapists to term, he thinks birth control should be illegal, he wants to prosecute pornographers, etc., etc., basically the guy wants to be president so that he can micromanage the sex lives of all Americans...and I'm the one with issues? Because I made a dirty joke at his expense eight or nine years ago and it stuck? I'm the one with issues?
Okaaaaaaaaaaaaaay.
Rick can pray for me. I'll gay for him. And we can call it even.
Who really needs to "find peace" here?
