Santorum's Conversion

Epiphany? Conversion? Come-to-Jesus moment?

We at Holier Than Thou are still struggling to make sense of Sen. Rick Santorum’s (R-Pa.) stunning reversal on the issue of so-called “Intelligent Design.”

If you recall, it wasn’t that long ago that the outspoken member of the Religious Right wrote in a Washington Times editorial that “Intelligent Design” is a “legitimate scientific theory that should be taught in the classroom.”

Yet, just last week, Santorum changed course, saying that I.D. doesn’t belong in the classroom and that simply, “science leads you where it leads you.”

Now, the cynical among us might think that this shift in his position had little to do with taking new marching orders from above, and more to do with the thumping at the ballot box that eight Republican proponents of “Intelligent Design” who were running for re-election to the Dover, Pa., school board took at the ballot box.

So, for the record, just how many days after the Dover officials were voted out of office because of their “Intelligent Design” support did Santorum change his tune?

A) Two days
B) Three days
C) Four days
D) Fix days



ANSWER
C) Four days. We can’t wait to hear what Pat Robertson has to say about this one, but we're willing to bet it's along the lines of if Rick faces a disaster at the polls next year, he shouldn't come praying to the Lord since he just threw God out of his political campaign...
