Rick Santorum, the guy who once famously compared homosexuality to bestiality and thus prompted Dan Savage to coin the term santorum to describe something else entirely, gave a speech today at CPAC that touched on the subject of DADT. The typical conservative line on DADT has been that the policy shouldn’t change because according to military brass it works just fine. Except now of course Admiral Mike Mullen came out against so now apparently the opinions of the higher ups don’t matter because they’ve been brainwashed:
Addressing how the military leadership, led by Joint Chiefs of Staff Chairman Mike Mullen, could now favor a repeal of the law, Santorum raised the specter of brainwashing.
“Political correctness is reigning in the military right now,” he said. “”Some people say: [Do] whatever the generals say [on DADT]. I’m not too sure that we haven’t so indoctrinated the officer corps in this country that they can actually see straight to make the right decision.”
Oh and did I mention that Mr. Santorum has been visiting early primary states recently? I’m almost secretly hoping he does run – watching him and Sarah Palin have a battle of wits would be epic!
