Santorum Says Pink Bowling Balls Are Off-Limits (just when you thought he couldn't go any lower)

[William769]

Rick Santorum is protecting the American culture, one bowling ball at a time. During a campaign appearance in Wisconsin Wednesday, he reportedly stopped a young man from picking up a pink bowling ball.

"Friends don't let friends use pink balls," Santorum quipped as the press looked on. The comments were tweeted by Reuters' Sam Youngman.

"You're not gonna use the pink ball," Santorum said to the boy first. "We're not gonna let you do that." Although, he added a caveat: "Not on camera."

From now on when I go bowling, this is all I will use.

1. What a freak.

[Botany]

32. +1

The man has real issues he is either a closet case or is into real freaky shit.

I don't know how old the boy is but for a stranger to bring up bowling ball color
is way over the line and is a major red flag as to Rick's mind.

[Cleita]

2. A guy on the radio today said he worked in a bowling alley and the colors of the balls

are all about weight, nothing else. Pink and orange bowling balls are lighter and would be better for children or others who would prefer a lighter ball. That's all there is, folks. Santorum is crazy like the rest of his co-runners.

[MADem]

13. Clearly, Santorum isn't a "regular guy." A "regular guy" bowls, and a "regular guy" would know that

color is all about WEIGHT, not perceived "manliness."

What color did Mister Ball Expert choose for himself? Blue?

[goclark]

36. Color him stupid!

What a jerk!

[niyad]

3. pink? that looks more like fuschia to me.

[jberryhill]

11. To a guy like Santorum, those are not two colors

[southernyankeebelle]

4. This man makes idiots look smart. If that is even possible.

[chollybocker]

5. And sweater vests should always stay hidden in the closet.

What's your point, Ricky? Trying too hard to hide it?....

[jberryhill]

6. "Santorum Urges Boy To Handle Big Black Balls"

[MADem]

14. Santorum says BLUE BALLS ARE THE WAY TO GO!

He also advocates against birth control for women!

[pepperbear]

16. I know, right?

[mlevans]

25. Perfection!

I was just waiting to see someone do something like this with the story; thank you for reaffirming my opinion on DU members' innate creativity.

[Marie Marie]

8. What is wrong with this lunatic?

This narrow minded twit could easily fit his brain though the eye of a needle.

[madaboutharry]

10. He is consumed with homophobia and

Concern with other peoples' sex lives. It is a level of weirdness that is difficult to understand. He also has a bad temper which makes you wonder what it is really like to live in that family.

[VWolf]

19. I'm waiting for one of the kids to pen a tell-all n/t

[Ecumenist]

15. When I saw this earlier today, I was pissed, especially when I looked at that freak and the idiot

had a BRIGHT PINK TIE on, almost the exact hue of this bowling ball.

[pepperbear]

17. not the onion? really?

"Friends don't let friends use pink balls."

[LynneSin]

20. Geez it's a bowling ball, not a sex show

what an idiot

[joeybee12]

21. He needs professional help...seriously...knr

[Initech]

22. Ew... last thing I want is Santorum's advice on balls.

[One_Life_To_Give]

23. A real friend wouldn't let you have Blue ones.

[Sedona]

24. Actually I quite like pink balls

[TrogL]

26. I have to use the pink ball. See my blog.

The Religious Right Revealed - Homophobic Dog Whistles

Posted as a separate thread before I saw this one.

[bullwinkle428]

27. There's actually a really high-end bowling ball (read : expensive) on the market

called a Pink Panther:



I think the whole reasoning behind the design and marketing of this ball was the idea that the user might end up in a match against some pathetically immature and emotionally stunted assclown like Santorum, and they would have the psychological upper hand from the first frame of the match!

[SunSeeker]

28. Don't most men have pink balls?

[KG]

29. Remember, rick, you don't mess with "the Jesus"

[a2liberal]

30. The lighter balls tend to be pink.

I suck at bowling regardless, but tend to suck less when using a lighter ball. So I tend to use pink balls

[Neoma]

31. I have weak wrists. That's my excuse.

[fightforfreedom123]

33. "Not on camera."

What do you do off camera Rick?

[Botany]

34. What do you do off camera Rick?

My guess is a bath tub filled with cream cheese and luke warm meat loaf as he
is whipped by jockey who is smoking a cigar as Debbie Boone's you light plays on
the speakers.

He really has some issues about sex because he is on record that a women shouldn't
have access to birth control because "they will use it."

[radicalliberal]

35. Yuck, pink bowling balls got cooties and can make you gay, too.

('Tis the best I can do, humorwise. )

[quakerboy]

37. I don't use pink balls

because I cant get my fingers in the holes.

I don't get it. Whats the problem with a pink bowling ball?
