Santorum strikes again

By now I'm sure you are all aware of Santorum's thoughts on increasing the consequences for those who choose to stay during a hurricane once an evacuation has been ordered.

Now he's taking this opportunity to go after the National Weather Service a little harder by saying they were wrong and by golly, consequences should be tougher for them, too, because being wrong in unacceptable.

Meanwhile, in Pennsylvania, Santorum was drawing a second round of fire, this time for saying the National Weather Service's forecasts and warnings about Katrina's path were "not sufficient."

Santorum, long at odds with the federal agency, is pushing a bill that would require it to surrender some of its duties to private businesses, some of them located in his state.

Can someone more worthy of press space, who resides in PA, please run against him and win?!

Not-to-mention how badly he seems to want to control the NWS.
