Excuse me, but Rick Santorum does not strike me as an expert on "bling."

Especially among 2016 presidential candidates.



Rick Santorum Defends Rick Perry's Gay-Alcoholism Comparison, Says Hillary Clinton Isn't 'Bling' Enough

Submitted by Brian Tashman on Friday, 6/13/2014 3:00 pm

In an interview with USA Today’s Capital Download today, Rick Santorum defended his one-time — and possibly future — presidential rival Rick Perry’s comparison of homosexuality to alcoholism, arguing that homosexuality is indeed a choice. Santorum, who has notoriously attempted to explain his opposition to marriage equality by speaking about beer and paper towels, told USA Today that while politicians should avoid making comparisons, Perry’s larger point was “accurate.” Back in 2011, the former Pennsylvania senator back in 2011 insisted that homosexuality is a choice because he knows of “people who were gay and lived a gay lifestyle and aren’t anymore.” Santorum also claimed in the USA Today interview that Hillary Clinton may not win the Democratic nomination for president if she decides to run because she is “old” and not “young and bling” enough for Democratic voters.

Perhaps Santorum knows something about bling...he obsessed with this guy after all.



You can't get much more bling than a guy wearing three gold neck-chains, a crucifix the size of an orange, holding a solid gold 7' rod wearing clothes with 24K gold threads sewn into them standing in front of a giant golden throne. Pope Bennie-16 is the epitome of bling, homes.
