Apparently, Rick Santorum is now upset that SNL did a parody of him..........
Santorum calls SNL sketch 'bullying' - The Hill's Video
I thought that during political season, SNL made fun of ALL the politicians. They've done it with Hillary, Obama, as well as many others, yet Santorum seems to not like the attention.
And besides, how can this be considered "bullying"?
Rick Santorum criticized a Saturday Night Live skit that poked fun at his anti-gay marriage views and trailing poll numbers as "bullying" in an interview this weekend.
SNL, in a send-up of last week's Bloomberg/Washington Post debate that set candidate's seating order based on poll numbers, said seating for the skit was based "on the likelihood of the candidate winning the nomination."
Actors playing contenders Herman Cain and former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney were seated at the table, while Texas Gov. Rick Perry was placed in the corner of the set, Rep. Ron Paul (Texas) was banished to a parking garage, former Speaker Newt Gingrich (Ga.) and Rep. Michele Bachmann (Minn.) were put a broom closet, and Santorum in "a crowded gay bar in the Castro district of San Francisco."
Although Santorum, played by Andy Samberg, had only a limited roll in the sketch, he was portrayed as upset and uncomfortable.
New Hampshire radio station WGIR asked Santorum on Sunday about the sketch the former Pennsylvania senator said that while he hadn't yet seen it, he had been "hammered" for his support of conservative principles.
"Weve been hammered by the left for my standing up for the traditional family and I will continue to do so," Santorum said. "The left, unfortunately, participates in bullying more than the right does. They say that theyre tolerant, and theyre anything but tolerant of people who disagree with them and support traditional values."
