Great profile of Rick Santorum. (I'll grant that it's not hard to make Santorum look like an ass, but that doesn't mean we shouldn't appreciate it when someone takes the time to do it.) Quotage:

"Not much athletic ability but as much heart and desire as anyone on the team," [said high school teammate Larry Goettler.] "He was not afraid to take it on the chin. Rick could take an elbow under the boards with the best of them."
...
"Rick was a funny guy," wrote [one of Santorum's cousins]. "He sported a bushy moustache for a time, wore Hawaiian shirts and smoked cigars. He liked to laugh, drink and call things 'horsey-assey.' He was very popular and fun to be around. I think the change happened when he met Karen."
