The attacks on former U.S. Senator Rick Santorum (R-Pa.) were bound to increase following his strong second place showing in last night's Iowa caucuses.
"Rick Santorum has Dan White-eyes," noted NPR and New York Times contributor Mark Allen this afternoon in a tweet. Dan White, you may recall, was the San Francisco Supervisor who assassinated openly gay San Francisco Supervisor Harvey Milk in November of 1978. [h/t Twitter user @ExJon]
Later, responding to a fellow Twitter user who said that "If @AnnCoulter said Obama has John Hinkley Jr. [sic] eyes, you'd be ROFLing," Allen tweeted back cheekily, "Thanks, but Obama has Diana Ross eyes."
A review of the openly gay writer/standup comedian's eponymous blog reveals such gems as, "I always though a really good name for a gay dive bar would be 'The Bottomless Pit.' Just thinking about it makes my head spin."
