    Video: Rick Santorum Steps Into It with CPAC Criticism of Sarah Palin

    Former Pennsylvania U.S. Senator Rick Santorum with S. E. Cupp.

    Yeah, Rick stepped into the pile with his backhand criticism of Sarah Palin. I knew it was going to be a FLAP because shortly after the quotes hit Twitter, Tammy Bruce was tweeting barbs against him.

    Here is Sarah Palin’s response on Fox News last night.

    Santorum was not very bright in attacking Sarah Palin. What does he gain?

    S.E. CUPP: What about Sarah Palin turning down the keynote? What do you think happened there?

    SANTORUM: I don’t know. You know, I have a feeling she has some demands on her time, and a lot of them have financial benefit attached to them, so I’m sure that she’s doing what’s best for her and her family.

    CUPP: You wouldn’t have turned it down.

    SANTORUM: Well, no, I wouldn’t have turned it down, but I don’t live in Alaska, right, and I’m not the mother to all these kids, and I don’t have other responsibilities like she has.

    Note how Mitt Romney has been treating Sarah – with kid gloves and always supportive. Mitt relishes her support, if she does not run. Mitt makes nice and alienates nobody.

    I don’t think Rick Santorum with the attacks on Palin’s family will ever receive any.
