Ahhhh … the Young Republican Phase-Out Singers, serenading that ArchDuke of phase-out Sen. Rick Santorum (R) of Pennsylvania yesterday. True, probably not the ideologically-correct castrati, but fitting the part nonetheless.

As Chris Bowers first reported yesterday, outside one of Santorum’s townhalls yesterday on Social Security a gaggle of college Republicans got up a chorus of “Hey, hey, ho, ho, Social Security’s got to go.”

Apparently, effective deceit and concealment is a late-onset trait of homo republicanus.

Bowers said that CNN had caught it live to air. And late last night I unsuccessfully searched around their transcript page seeing if I could find it. But now a Pennsylvania political candidate has gotten hold of the footage and you can see it in all its phase-out glory right here.
