Santorum doubles down

[Ed W]

Rick "Please don't Google my name" Santorum reiterated today that Puerto Rico should not be considered for statehood until the people there learn English.

"What I've said is that obviously Puerto Rico is a Spanish-speaking country, a Spanish-speaking island, not a country, but Spanish-speaking island, they will continue to speak Spanish and that's their culture and they have every right to do so," he said on ABC News' This Week. "But what I've said is that there should be fluency in English as well as Spanish and that, if they want to, and I think that it's just makes sense, just like here in this country."

Ah, that little Ricky!  He's a gift that keeps on giving.  I'll miss him when the election is over and he goes home.  That'll take a time machine, of course, because his real home is somewhere in Alabama circa 1850.

Might explain why he got single digits in the primary/caucus/beauty contest this weekend.
