How not to win friends and influence people...

It's a tragic tale involving a Christmas Party, a former Rick Santorum staffer (Pennyslavania Senator, R. '91-'95) and her husband both of whom apparently remain Santorum fans and how they regrettably (and in hindsight, unwisely) insisted that “Rick Santorum is really a nice guy;” and how a surprised and astonished (nameless) someone replied “Are you fu@king kidding me? Words have meaning and all the piece of chit, racist, homophobic m#ther fu@king arse-whole utters is hate speech;” followed by something along the line of how Santorum and his hypocritical ilk are chicken chits who never wore a uniform and how his goose-steppers are a danger to the country. After the couple quickly finished their dinner and somewhat nervously yet politely excused themselves, the nameless someone's spouse was keen to remind him how that was an excellent example of how not to win friends and influence people, gently swooning into his ear how he’s never lost his finely-honed ability…to break a mood, run strangers off, and ruin a party...
