Conservative blogger Hugh Hewitt recently interviewed Senator Rick Santorum on his radio show. This passage struck me as a bit strange, however.

Hewitt: Now in the caucus, do you folks meet on Wednesday and talk about these things? Is it a candid conversation among Senators about both the principles and the politics of the situation?

Santorum: Oh, trust me. Yes, it is very candid. But sometimes, very emotionally candid, but that's good. I mean, it's good to have those kinds of discussions and to do so without a whole lot of, well, with anybody else but Senators in the room, so you can sort of let it all out and let folks know what you think. Candidly, it's civil, but it's sometimes emotional, and it's important to have those discussions. And trust me, we've had them over the last few weeks.

Hmm...ol' Santorum TWICE mentioned that GOP caucus meetings get emotional. I'm sure this could mean there's lots of swearing and pussy jokes, but my first reaction is that "emotional" translates to "they all pray together," and occassionally, some senators cry when they confess their sins (you know, like looking up Maria Cantwell's skirt, or something.)

Although he's not the most religious type, I think Rhode Island senator Lincoln Chafee looks like he probably cries the most. I mean...just look at the guy. He's got wimp written all over him.
