Senator Rooster Clucks

Rick Santorum Called "Rooster" Before His Days In The Senate... | The Huffington Post: "Rooster to the rescue?

On the name-calling scale, this doesn't come close to that red-faced guy in Glenside. But U.S. Sen. Rick Santorum's re-election campaign keeps calling Democratic opponent Bob Casey Jr.'Bobby.'

This diminutive nickname makes Casey sound inexperienced, lightweight and without the substance of his father, the late Gov. Bob Casey.

In other words, it's smart for Santorum to keep doing it.

The Casey camp could fight back by referring to the incumbent as 'Ricky,' but Clout has a better idea.

Santorum's high-school nickname was 'Rooster.' Why not have a staffer (where's Philly Press?) dress up as a rooster to attend Santorum's public events?"

Anyone who is surprised that Ricky's nickname was "Rooster" raise your hand.
