You may have heard that Rick Santorum and Sarah Palin had a dust up over comments Santorum made at the Conservative Political Action Conference last week. Here's a quote from the Huffington Post "Rick "Santorum: Sarah Palin May Be Skipping CPAC Due To Lack Of 'Financial Benefits'," by Nick Wing):
"I don't live in Alaska and I'm not the mother to all these kids and I don't have other responsibilities that she has," Santorum, a father of seven, said.
Yes, Palin's five children must keep her busy, far busier than Santorum's seven children keep him. Remember when Santorum's book came out and he talked about how important it was for mothers to stay home with the kids and people said he meant that one parent should stay home? No, he meant women with children should shoulder the majority of the burden for raising them. Men just need to bring home money. And people who can't live on one income just need to reorder their priorities. For more of the former Pennsylvania senator's wisdom, you can read the book, or skim my multi-post review of it ("Reading Rick") from about five years ago.
