(A Santorum campaign song, sung to the tune of “I Like Ike,” by Irving Berlin)

We pick Rick.
Yes, Rick’s with whom we will stick.
He’s the guy
All over whom we’re swarming.

We pick Rick.
Though some imply that he’s thick,
He well knows
There is no global warming.

He’ll say on CNN
The sins that we must smother.
And he can keep those men
From marrying each other.

We pick Rick
‘Cause he’ll tell liberals real quick
What God says
No matter if they’re willing:
Abortion’s baby-killing.
So we pick Rick.

Your support makes stories like this possible

From Minneapolis to Venezuela, from Gaza to Washington, DC, this is a time of staggering chaos, cruelty, and violence. 

Unlike other publications that parrot the views of authoritarians, billionaires, and corporations, The Nation publishes stories that hold the powerful to account and center the communities too often denied a voice in the national media—stories like the one you’ve just read.

Each day, our journalism cuts through lies and distortions, contextualizes the developments reshaping politics around the globe, and advances progressive ideas that oxygenate our movements and instigate change in the halls of power. 

This independent journalism is only possible with the support of our readers. If you want to see more urgent coverage like this, please donate to The Nation today.
