Sen. Frothy-Mix Santorum is really living up to his nickname today. Goes on Imus to do the Tinkerbell clap about these “weapons of mass destruction” (a bunch of rusted out shells with chemical residues we’ve know about since ’03 or thereabouts) that justifies his vote for Bush’s War whether those Pentagon pussies think it does or not. But he can’t find 30 seconds to mention, much less denounce, this atrocity. Via the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette:

Thousands of low-income Pennsylvania families with young children will receive less help this summer from a government program that allows them to purchase fresh fruits and vegetables from farmers’ markets.

State officials said cuts in federal funding have prompted them to eliminate children younger than 4 from participating in the Farmers’ Market Nutrition Program.

At least 40,000 children eligible for the program are affected, said Barry Shutt, director of food distribution for the state Department of Agriculture.

Good ol’ Pro-Life Ricky. Love, love, love those babies, right up to the moment of birth. After that, not so much.

And of course this is a big Frothy Finger of Fate to the farmers of Pennsylvania too we might note. You listening, Bob Casey? Rick’s too busy nailing the FEMA Blue Tarp of Desperation over the leaky roof of his campaign structure to care about poor hungry kids.
