Santorum a liar? say it ain't so....

Little ricky sure is a nasty piece of work. Not long after claiming, "who me? I was never part of the K-Street Project," he has quietly resumed, yes, the bi-weekly meetings that are part of the K-street project.

The WAPO has the details: Senator Resumes Lobbyist Huddles
After saying in January that he would end his regular meetings with lobbyists, Sen. Rick Santorum (Pa.), the third-ranking GOP leader in the Senate, has continued to meet with many of the same lobbyists at the same time and on the same day of the week.

Santorum, whose ties to Washington lobbyists have been criticized by his Democratic challenger, suspended his biweekly encounters on Jan. 30. His decision came as Democrats named him as their top target in November's Senate races, and after the guilty plea of former lobbyist Jack Abramoff to charges of conspiring to corrupt public officials.

But in the month since his announcement, Santorum has held two meetings attended by the same core group of lobbyists, and has used the sessions to appeal for campaign aid, according to participants. Both of those meetings were convened at the same time as the previous meetings -- 8:30 a.m. -- on the same day of the week -- Tuesday -- and they lasted for about as long as the earlier meetings -- one hour. (my emphasis added)

I guess being a corrupt little asswipe has become an addiction. Little Ricky has sure got some 'splaining to do.
