If by “defended”, he meant “(figuratively) raked over hot coals for the better part of a week or two”, then yes. They're twinsies, apparently.

I don't get it. The Reverend Wright thing was all over the news for like a week.

ha ha ha. santorum says foster friess is just a “supporter.” foster friess owns rick santorum. i wish i could buy my own personal politician. and along the reverend wright lines, obama sat in a room once with randy ayers and according to republicans obama is now responsible for everything ayers did. (though ayers has fallen out of republican boogeyman favor and theyve moved on to saul alinsky.) and the double standard applies to the press not focusing on palins kook church and its minister like they did obamas during the 2008 campaign.

It's about time someone played the Rev. Wright card. John McCain was too big a pussy to do it in 2008.

I'm sick of this concept of “gotcha” questions, while it's true that sometimes there are questions that are unfair most of the times they are legitimate. While a candidate can't be held responsible for what their supporters say (unless they're actually involved in the campaign), they should at lease have some kind of response other than a whiny bitch fit.

I just wanna see him cry on live TV.

He is incredibly whiny.
