Daily Santorum 4/28/11

In a couple hours, Rick Santorum will take a brief respite from his early-primary-state jaunts to address the Beltway Elites at the National Press Club, where he'll be talking foreign policy. As detailed in our pages before, Rick fancies himself an expert on foreign policy from his time in the Senate -- and is using that to distinguish himself in the muddled GOP presidential field. Talking Points Memo, while graciously linking to my piece, takes a jaundiced look at a few greatest hits of Santorum foreign policy pronouncements, including his "D'oh" moment when he said: "We have found weapons of mass destruction in Iraq, chemical weapons."

An AP preview of the speech shows Santorum blasting Obama's "militant socialism" -- changed from the even creepier "godless socialism" -- while offering many criticisms of the president's foreign policy outlook. We will have full coverage of the speech in tomorrow's dried pulp edition of the Post-Gazette and on Your Daily Santorum.

In other Santorum news, he and wife Karen gave a joint interview to the Christian Broadcasting Network, in which Karen addressed the loud -- and sometimes icky -- criticism leveled at her husband, and the difficulty of whistling Kumbaya through it all:

Ephesians Chapter 6: verses 10-20. I love that. Put on the armor of God and everyday I say that. We’re going out and it’s all about doing what you believe God wants you to do, fighting that fight and you put on the armor of God and it’s okay. One of the hard things as a Christian is to love your enemies. I pray for those people. I pray for them and did I love them after the 2006 race? (Laughs) I can’t say I did but I tried.
