Santorum brings his particular brand of idiocy to Union County

And the crazy train just keeps rollin':

Santorum will serve as an honorary speaker at the annual Lincoln-Reagan Day Dinner sponsored by the Union County Republican Party. This year’s event is set for April 28 in Marvin. A crowd of about 300 is expected to attend, making it the largest in the Union County party’s history.

I don't mean to bash on Union County. I have friends in Union County. I'm not going to tell you what their names are, because, you know. It's Union County. I think there's a $200 bounty on Progressives there, like Sarah Palin's wolf foreleg thing. But the first thing that crossed my mind when I read this article was that segment on Mad TV called "Lowered Expectations". This is what they're lining up for:

Somebody needs to tell Santorum that, much like using the key word "shotgun" if you want to claim the front seat, when you call a "Time Out", you must also make a "T" with your hands, or it doesn't count. Hey, I don't make up these rules, I merely...okay, sometimes I do make up these rules. But they're good rules.

Organizers previously announced that Arizona Sheriff Joe Arpaio would be the keynote speaker, and take questions from the audience. Other scheduled guests include U.S. Rep. Mick Mulvaney of South Carolina, N.C. Supreme Court Justice Paul Newby and Tom McClusky, vice president of the Family Research Action Council, according to a news release.

Here's a little background on the good Sheriff:

The Justice Department, after a three-year investigation, said it found that Arpaio's office committed racial profiling and discrimination, executing immigration patrols based on racially charged citizen complaints, according to the report.

In addition, the investigation uncovered what federal officials called areas of serious concern, such as the department's failure to adequately investigate allegations of sexual assaults, which the agency continues to investigate.

I'm thinking they're not going to serve Mexican food at this dinner, although I'm sure they'll serve up a healthy spread of fear and hatred.
