Rick Santorum Gives Up Entirely on the Mainstream, Writes for WND

Rick Santorum is running out of respectable gigs. When he lost his Senate seat to Bob Casey a few years back, he started writing columns for the Philadelphia Inquirer—back when that publication was under the control of Brian Tierney and intent on acting as a semi-retirement home for disgraced Republicans. Now that the 2012 election is over, and Santorum’s presidential dreams dead for four more years, he’s going to work for World Net Daily, which the Washington Post calls a “conspiracy-minded” conservative website. “Known for propagating ”birtherism,” WND has also questioned Florida Sen. Marco Rubio’s eligibility to run for president,” the Post observes. In other words: Santorum’s audience now resides entirely on the fringe. [Washington Post]
