Journalism 101, Rule #10:

Never use "full-throated" and "Santorum" in the same sentence.

"I think he’s been a terrific president, absolutely," Santorum said in the nearly hour-long debate on NBC’s "Meet the Press." Defense Secretary Donald H. Rumsfeld — whose resignation is being sought by some Republican candidates — "has done a fine job," he said, and "there is no question that the Iraq war should have commenced."

"I find this finger to be far more useful to sit on."
