Where do the Republicans find these inept, ignoramus candidates? Did someone lose a bet? First it was Sarah Palin, then they came up with Michelle Bachmann, then Rick Perry and Herman Cain... and now the new kid in town seems to be education-phobe Rick Santorum, who's claiming that a number of universities in California don't even teach American History...
