Santorum Fumbles. God, Can't These Guys Hang Onto the Ball?
We might have to bench the whole bunch of them and bring up some of the minor leaguers. From ABC News,
Sen. Rick Santorum, R-Pa., says that the No. 1 health care crisis in his state is medical lawsuit abuse and in the past he's called for a $250,000 cap on non-economic damage awards or awards for pain and suffering. "We need to do something now to fix the medical liability problem in this country," he declared at a rally in Washington D.C., this past spring.
But Santorum's wife sued a doctor for $500,000 in 1999. She claimed that a botched spinal manipulation by her chiropractor led to back surgery, pain and suffering, and sued for twice the amount of a cap Santorum has supported.
Do as I say, not as I do. (By the way, whatever happened to all the Republicans that signed Gingrich's Contract for America, agreeing to self imposed term limits? Did any of them actually do it, or was that self serving too?)
