Santorum Meets the Press

Y'all thought I was joking, didn't you, when my blog post on the Casey / Santorum debate ended with the remark that I wouldn't sit with my back to Santorum unless I were wearing kevlar?

You've probably already seen the reports Santorum's encounter with Patriot-News reporter / blogger Brett Lieberman ("Tightening races boost state GOP's confidence," 9/17):

Santorum, who alluded to his rocky relations with the press as he hopped from room to room to meet with regional caucuses earlier in the morning, later refused to talk when a Patriot-News reporter approached with a question about Iran. He complained about what he called biased coverage.

"I have to raise tens of millions of dollars because of the junk you feed the people of Pennsylvania," he said. He then used an expletive to describe the coverage and slammed down a newspaper.


(It was also reported in John Micek's "Resurrection of pay hike issue haunts GOP," in the Morning Call, as well as discussed in Tom Ferrick's blog.)
