Dana Milbank slightly redeems himself for trashing John Conyers with the following:

The Republican-controlled state House of Representatives in Pennsylvania took the paddle last week to its home-state junior senator. Santorum, of the aforementioned Hitler controversy, had received tens of thousands of dollars from Penn Hills School District, outside Pittsburgh, for tuition for his children to attend online charter schools called cyberschools. One problem: Although the Santorums own a house in Penn Hills, they live most of the time in Northern Virginia, where their children are home-schooled. In a bill inspired by the Santorum case, the House voted 175 to 24 to restrict eligibility for such payments to people who actually reside in the state. The measure now goes to the state Senate.

Oh well. Look, I'm a taxpayer, and I'm happy to support Sen. Santorum (R-Man on Dog) and his children wherever they live and whether they go to school or not; in fact, as a [cough] Christian like Senator Santorum, it's my duty to do so. I only wish I could give more. And if Senator Santorum wants to give his kids extra credit for holding the dead fetus he was passing around, well, that's OK by me too!
