Maher: Anti-Gay Santorum Believes 'Life Begins At Erection'

Bill Maher, appearing on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno, said Wednesday that Republican presidential candidate Rick Santorum is surging because GOP voters “hadn’t gotten the memo” that the country was moving past social issues.

“I think it’s funny that this election, you know, up until recently, it was going to be an election all about money, deficits and jobs and the deficit and the spending,” Maher observed. “This is what the tea party was so upset about, right? Weren’t they mad at the bankers and the bailouts? And then, you know, somebody shoves a big gay penis in their face and they jump at it.”
