A perfect pair!

Via Early Returns, we see Lil Ricky Santorum in Iowa going all xenophobic (and a little birther around the edges) on President Obama:

Obama is detached form the American experience. He just doesn’t identify with the average American because of his own background. Indonesia and Hawaii. His view is from the viewpoint of academics and the halls of the Ivy league schools that he went to and it’s not a love of this country and an understanding of the basic values and wants and desires of it’s people. And as a result of that, he doesn’t connect with people at that level.

Hmm, Hawaii as problematic...as less than truly American. Where have I heard that before?

Oh, yeah.

According to her own father, Sarah Palin had an Hawaii problem:

Palin, though notoriously ill-traveled outside the United States, did journey far to the first of the four colleges she attended, in Hawaii. She and a friend who went with her lasted only one semester. "Hawaii was a little too perfect," Palin writes. "Perpetual sunshine isn't necessarily conducive to serious academics for eighteen-year-old Alaska girls." Perhaps not. But Palin's father, Chuck Heath, gave a different account to Conroy and Walshe. According to him, the presence of so many Asians and Pacific Islanders made her uncomfortable: "They were a minority type thing and it wasn't glamorous, so she came home." In any case, Palin reports that she much preferred her last stop, the University of Idaho, "because it was much like Alaska yet still 'Outside.' "

I think Palin has found her running mate!

He's even into wildlife:


Lil Ricky can hold 'em while Sarah plugs 'em full of holes.
