November 7th, 2006 at 10:33 pmbless you for sharing that!
November 7th, 2006 at 10:36 pmGood riddance
November 7th, 2006 at 10:36 pmGreat to see… but could you change “conceeds” to “concedes”?
November 7th, 2006 at 10:38 pmthanx
I gotta admit that was a pretty classy concession.
November 7th, 2006 at 10:39 pmSo so so glad he’s gone gone gone.
Woof Woof Ricky! pantpantpant…
November 7th, 2006 at 10:39 pmSo so so glad he’s gone gone gone.
November 7th, 2006 at 10:40 pmBut that was a pretty classy concession.
A lightweight who was hardly senatorial and never should have been in the Senate.
November 7th, 2006 at 10:40 pmCarry me Back to Old Virginia.
November 7th, 2006 at 10:40 pmit’s spelled ‘concede’
November 7th, 2006 at 10:42 pmI am relishing the anguish in the background. Soak it up folks. Picture that woman screaming “NO… NOOO” in the background, holding her head in her hands and sobbing. The self righteous will fall so far.
November 7th, 2006 at 10:42 pmnow i gotta see the katherine harris one!!!!
November 7th, 2006 at 10:43 pmWe won we won we won we won we won!!! No more Rick Santorum! Sweet Jesus, free at last!!! What a great night to be a Pennsylvanian.
November 7th, 2006 at 10:44 pmClassy confession from a crass homophobe etc.
November 7th, 2006 at 10:44 pmI’m really happy about all of this, but the electronic distortion on the clip made all the hair on my back jump.
November 7th, 2006 at 10:48 pmIt’s not a good night to be a lapdog. One can only hope that little Georgie Allen is preparing his concession speech right now.
November 7th, 2006 at 10:48 pmhuge douchebag, but respectable concession since I expected a tantrum.
November 7th, 2006 at 10:49 pmNice concession speech. Still a terrible human being, though…Thrilled he’s gone…
November 7th, 2006 at 10:49 pmYippee! Thank you, Pennsylvania, from a gay, dog-loving Canadian!
November 7th, 2006 at 10:50 pmVery gracious on his part.
November 7th, 2006 at 10:51 pmDon’t be ugly folks. Its unbecoming.
Let’s have a round of virtual applause for the voters of Pennsylvania! Job well done!
November 7th, 2006 at 10:51 pmhoekstra will
November 7th, 2006 at 10:51 pmApparently, Chris Matthews forgot to mention that CHRIS MATTHEWS HEARTS IT MAN-ON-DOG STYLE W/ SANTORUM!
November 7th, 2006 at 10:52 pmAt least he went out with more dignity than he has ever shown the office he was booted from.
November 7th, 2006 at 10:52 pmThank you, Pennsylvania, from a gay, dog-loving (wink, wink) Canadian!
November 7th, 2006 at 10:52 pmSee ya, Ricky. Another one gone!
November 7th, 2006 at 10:57 pmAhem….
*dramatic pause*
o/` Nah nah nah nah… o/`
o/` Nah nah nah nah… o/`
o/` HEY HEY HEY…. o/`
o/` *GOOD BYE!!!* o/`
*clears throat*
Man that felt good. Musgrave…YOU’RE NEXT!
November 7th, 2006 at 10:59 pmLittle Normie Coleman has got to be hearing footsteps, too. He is now looking at two years as Minnesota’s lame duck senator. He’s been GDumbya’s little poodle and he’s gotta be sh*tting bricks after Ricky’s defeat and Georgie Allen’s impending loss.
November 7th, 2006 at 11:11 pmSo long, Mr. Santorum.
You will not be missed.
November 7th, 2006 at 11:18 pmBye bye frothy substance!
November 7th, 2006 at 11:52 pmWatch it? No thank you. I’ve seen all I want to see of that man.
November 8th, 2006 at 12:04 amI guess Jesus didn’t want Rick to be senator anymore.
November 8th, 2006 at 12:06 amGood job, Pennsylvania
November 8th, 2006 at 12:10 am[...] Rick Santorum is gone. Here’s his concession speech. Once you get past the status, it’s a surprisingly classy concession. I have more respect for him as an ex-Senator than as a Senator. Actually, that’s not true. I sorta knew he was the classy sorta guy for some time. I guess it’s just more proof that you can disagree with someone’s politics but still like them personally — something I also already knew after multiple conservatives roommates at Harvard. [...]
November 8th, 2006 at 12:44 amI snorted hot chocolate out my nose when I heard the Santorum supporter shouting, “No! NOOOO!” in the background. Denial is a painful, painful thing.
November 8th, 2006 at 1:27 amI’m so glad to see this douche bag out of office.
November 8th, 2006 at 4:31 amHe’s an idiot, a Christianist, and an absolute waste of space. BUT that was a very gracious concession, wouldn’t you say?
November 8th, 2006 at 5:00 amPity. Casey’s a raging liberal pinko . Hate to see you go Rick! I guess the general consensus in Philly is that home values don’t matter so much. Sure gives new meaning to Philly being called the city of “brotherly love” and all-love as in the James McGreevy sense I suppose.
November 8th, 2006 at 10:32 pmOf course it was a classy concession. He can read polls. He had plenty of time to craft it.
As for the screaming women (there were several, from what I have heard): apparently, there are some who cannot read polls. The reason they got a SHOCK was that there was no election coverage broadcasting at that little party. For all they knew he was coming out to give a short pep talk. SURPRISE! “NO! NO!!!”
November 8th, 2006 at 10:41 pmLike the dinosaurs, Santorum lost because he maintained his carnivorous policies long after the food source had dried up. But I can’t help but to wonder if his loss wasn’t in part due to the fact that he looks and acts like a real rest-stop going, glory hole cruising, wife cheating closet case. I’m not saying he looks gay – gays would never dress like that. He looks like a haggard-style, page ogling, meth sniffing, prostitute paying closet case. …And I think the voters picked up on that.
November 10th, 2006 at 7:21 amIt’s the first classy thing “man on-dog” Santorum’s done in nearly two decades. Gee, isn’t that sweet. He’s been going around promoting conflict with Iran and Syria next, the outcome of which would be the end of the U.S. as we know it. Good riddance and back luck to him.
