George Will watch, continued:
Josh Marshall points out, today that, once again, George Will is willing to act the part of the rational thinker above the tides of partisanship; when in fact he is playing dirty.
"On the This Week roundtable this morning, the subject of the Santorum comments came up....Will piped up and said that what Santorum was saying was "by what standard" (going from recollection here, not a transcript) can you distinguish, can the state distinguish between homosexual acts and adultery or incest or other forms of illicit sex. Yet, as we noted earlier, this is precisely not what Santorum said. Not at all. If you read the actual interview..."
I like Marshall's last quip:
"Will was calm and dispassionate in stating something that is demonstrably false. He seems either not to have read the actual conversation or he's overly eager to help Santorum out of his jam."
