...of lube & fecal matter, Santorum is also a flip-flopper. To wit:
Early this year, Sen. Rick Santorum commended the Dover Area School District for "attempting to teach the controversy of evolution."
But one day after a federal judge ruled that the district's policy on intelligent design was unconstitutional, Santorum said he was troubled by court testimony that showed some board members were motivated by religion in adopting the policy.
And, he said in an interview, he disagreed with the board for mandating the teaching of intelligent design, rather than just the controversy surrounding evolution.
Santorum - who sits on the advisory board of the Thomas More Law Center, which defended the school board in court - said the case offered "a bad set of facts" to test the concept that theories other than evolution should be taught in science classrooms.
"I thought the Thomas More Law Center made a huge mistake in taking this case and in pushing this case to the extent they did," Santorum said.
He said he intends to withdraw his affiliation with the Michigan-based public-interest law firm that promotes Christian values.
Give me a break. This is just Santorum being a rat bailing from a sinking ship. As basically every biologist in the known universe will tell you, there is no controversy about whether evolution is true or not; the controversy is exactly how evolution works. Santorum is just trying to save face so that he maintain some credibility when tries to inject his hate-spewing version of religion into the public arena again. If ID had been allowed to be taught in Dover, you can bet your sweet ass that he'd have no objection. You wouldn't see him running around saying that people are evil because they are teaching ID instead of some "controversy".
