Pot Calling Kettle Black
On March 1, Sen. Robert Byrd (D-WV) made a reference to Hitler in a speech about the nuclear option. Santorum lashed out at Byrd for his remarks.
Speaking in support of the nuclear option on the floor of the senate:
"Senator Byrd's inappropriate remarks comparing his Republican colleagues with
Nazis are inexcusable," Santorum said in a statement yesterday. "These comments
lessen the credibility of the senator and the decorum of the Senate. He should
retract his statement and ask for pardon." - Sen Rick Santorum [then]
Speaking in support of the nuclear option on the floor of the senate:
It's the equivalent of Adolf Hitler in 1942 "I'm in Paris. how dare you invade
me. How dare you bomb my city? It's mine." This is no more the rule of the
Senate than it was the rule of the Senate before not to filibuster. - Sen. Rick
Santorum [now]
