Santorum claims "Satan" rules Hollywood...

THIS is the guy who dictated to the House they should shut the government down?

Santorum: Satan Controls The Film Industry

Submitted by Brian Tashman on Thursday, 10/24/2013 4:15 pm

Rick Santorum is asking you to do your part to free movie theatres from the Devil’s clutches by purchasing tickets to his upcoming movie, The Christmas Candle. He appeared on the Trinity Broadcasting Network last week to plug the new movie of his film company EchoLight Studios, which apparently is in a state of internal strife after his arrival as CEO. While speaking on a network where televangelists on a daily basis tell viewers that God will reward them financially if they send in contributions, the former senator and presidential candidate spent most of the time criticizing movies for being too materialistic. Santorum, who has previously said that Satan has control over mainline Protestantism and universities, thanked viewers in advance for seeing the movie. “This is a tough business, this is something that we’re stepping out,” Santorum said, “and the Devil for a long, long time has had this, these screens, for his playground and he isn’t going to give it up easily.”

I work in Hollywood and now that's he's spilled the secret and I can tell you, yes...Satan signs my check.

Kind of a relief to get that off my chest...

Anybody else smell a Best Picture Oscar in his future? Or would that be an Emmy since the only place that I see airing this sanctimonious garbage is Fox news on a weekend special, at 3:00 in the morning.
