A few days ago, GOP Presidential candidate Rick Santorum put his foot in his mouth by saying “I don’t want to make black people’s lives better by giving them somebody else’s money.”

Santorum allegedly made the controversial comments when discussing welfare in an interview Wednesday night with Fox News’ Bill O’Reilly, but he maintained that people misheard the word “black” when he stumbled on a word.

“I looked at that, and I didn’t say that. If you look at it, what I started to say is a word and then sort of changed and it sort of - blah - came out. And people said I said ‘black.’ I didn’t,” Santorum said while smiling away.

“And I can tell you, I don’t use - I don’t - first off, I don’t use the term ‘black’ very often. I use the term ‘African-American’ more than I use ‘black’ … I think sometimes you want to give someone the benefit of the doubt if it’s a little bit of a blurred word.”

I’m not certain even O’Reilly believed him by the time that he was finished babbling.

That actually made me laugh out loud.

I rarely if ever reblog anything remotely political but I think this is my favourite news story ever

I saw this happen

I was just staring slackjawed at the television in my break room at work. I seriously couldn’t believe what I was watching.

PLEASE DON’T WIN.
