    Rick Santorum Uses New York Times Confrontation For Fundraising Pitch

    The Huffington Post | By Amanda Terkel | 03/26/2012 10:40 am

    “If you can take on The New York Times, you're ready to be president.

    That's essentially the pitch of Rick Santorum's latest fundraising email, which tries to raise money off his recent spat with a reporter from the Times.

    On Sunday, Santorum lashed out at reporters as he defended saying Mitt Romney was "the worst Republican in the country to put up against Barack Obama." He said he was talking only about Romney's ability to campaign against the president on the issue of health care.

    "Quit distorting my words. It's bullsh*t," he said to a Times reporter.

    In a fundraising email Monday morning, Santorum writes, "I'm Ready to Take On The New York Times":

    Santorum asks supporters for $30, which he says is approximately what a subscription to the Times costs.

    Read his email:

    .....

    Santorum now has made another enemy to slay in his rabid quest for the presidency. The NYT will enjoy this so much...as Santorum strays away from focusing on his campaign and fighting with “the liberal press.” OMG: will the extememly low statesmanship of these candidates never stop? Someone should tell Santorum that he is campaigning for the presidency and needs the freakin’ press....

    To use his rant against a reporter as basis for another hit for donations to carry on his losing campaign gives us a new study of Santorum’s tackiness. He must be exceedingly desperate to try to grub money from an increasingly distant constituency. Bye bye, Rick
