Santorum to become Inquirer OpEd columnist

Nice to have a big campaign contributor own the newspaper that hires you to be columnist.


A press conference was held at 1:30 this afternoon
at the Philadelphia Inquirer to announce that it has added former Sen. Rick Santorum to its stable of columnists.

Also hired is George Curry, the former editor of Emerge magazine. They will alternate the weekly Thursday spot. Santorium’s column will be called “The Elephant in the Room.” He said it would not focus all that much on politics.

The two attended the announcement with Brian P. Tierney, publisher, and Harold Jackson, editorial page editor.


oh geez... stay tuned for Rick

“He wont focus on politics”... hmmm
not sure if I am buying that one. Perhaps
Rick could exclusively focus on his ultra-
right wing ideological agenda that currently
is responsible for having us tied down in Iraq.

If he gets a column… they may as well let anyone
right a coloumn.
