Former U.S. Senator and current CNN talking blowhard, Rick Santorum, had a few words of advice for the anti-gun violence protesters who marched in this nation's capital over the weekend. He said:
"How about kids instead of looking to someone else to solve their problem, do something about maybe taking CPR classes or trying to deal with situations that when there is a violent shooter that you can actually respond to that... They took action to ask someone to pass a law. They didn't take action to say, 'How do I, as an individual, deal with this problem? How am I going to do something about stopping bullying within my own community? What am I going to do to actually help respond to a shooter?' ... Those are the kind of things where you can take it internally, and say, 'Here's how I'm going to deal with this. Here's how I'm going to help the situation,' instead of going and protesting and saying, 'Oh, someone else needs to pass a law to protect me.'"
These comments are stupid on multiple levels. First off, why in the world do we elect people into Congress and the Oval Office in the first place? To twiddle their thumbs, nap, and work less than Elvis Presley has over the past couple of years? It's no wonder Santorum was defeated in his last Senatorial race. I'm surprised his slogan wasn't, "Vote for Somethin', As I Do Nothin'."
Secondly, does Rick Santorum even know what CPR is? If a person has been shot and is bleeding, CPR will only exacerbate the situation, as the person will then bleed at a faster rate. With that kind of advice, I can just imagine Santorum uttering the following lines at some point in his life (if he hasn't already):
- "If a person is having trouble breathing, firmly cover their mouth with one hand and plug their nose with the other."
- "If someone is losing their balance at the edge of a cliff, give them a nice tap."
- "When someone is having issues swimming, just hold their head underwater for a couple more minutes and that should do the trick."
I honestly don't think I need to say any more. Rick Santorum, congratulations - you're my Douche of the Week!
