Lighter Shade of Pale

And yet Glenn Church tried to say he's not a racist -

For a guy who seemed to say that “black people” shouldn’t get handouts, Rick Santorum keeps stepping into sticky racial issues even when he is not trying too.

As he traveled across South Carolina on Thursday, Mr. Santorum urged voters to dismiss the conventional wisdom that Mitt Romney has an upper hand in the nominating contest. He said the party can win back the White House only by offering a “clear contrast” with President Obama.
“We need contrasts,” Mr. Santorum said, “not just a paler shade of what we have.”

It doesn’t help that Santorum made this statement while trampling through South Carolina and shouting the praises of Strom Thurmond.
