Other NH News: Vermin Supreme pushed about by Santorum's Staff.

The above video shows a crowd of protesters on Monday chanting "Bigot go home!" and "Shame!" at candidate Rick Santorum. It's quite probable that after hearing Santorum's fun answers to repeated questions about gay marriage (basically, I think people have gotten into the habit of pulling his string like he's a homophobic See'n'Say just to hear what weird thing he'll come up with next) people are more or less done with smarmy superannuated altar boy Rick Santorum.

His staff made sure Vermin Supreme didn't get anywhere near the candidate--I genuinely think they were afraid he'd get a glittering. I also note Vermin Supreme got more votes than Randall Terry. Make of that what you will. I think there's some cool people in NH.

Just some odds and ends of the Best of the Worst 2012 business--

Randall Terry, who isn't a real candidate, got glitter-bombed by Vermin Supreme, who isn't a real candidate either.



Nonetheless, I enjoyed seeing Randall Terry being glitter-bombed. Some people need a little disrespect every now and then to keep the world around them sane.

Speaking of which--Gingrich was called a rude thing:



I'm sticking with, "It's funny because it's true."

Oh, and finally, Ron Paul is finally feeling the actual irritation of being asked legitimate questions by journalists about stuff that appeared under his byline, instead of getting fluffed by libertarian fringistas.

I don't really get the appeal of Ron Paul. Some of the things he's said remind me a lot of Pat Buchanan. The non-interventionist foreign policy, for one thing, and the quasi-racist if not actually racist small gov't/but law and order stuff. And yet, Pat was never cool.  So how come Pat Buchanan's philosophy turns on ignorant hipsters when dressed up as an ol' country doctor?  Am confused.

Anyway--that's my half-assed round-up about some of today's half-assed candidates.
