Former Pennsylvania Sen. Rick Santorum, who lost a bruising race last year despite being the No. 3 Republican in the Senate with strong conservative credentials, is turning his energies to writing.
Santorum, who has been a commentator on Fox News Channel and a consultant at the Eckert Seamans Cherin & Mellott LLC law firm, will pen a column every other Thursday for the Philadelphia Inquirier called “The Elephant in the Room.”
In 2003, Santorum came under fire for remarks he made about homosexuality that were interpreted by some as comparing it to incest, bigamy and adultery. He later said they were taken out of context and the comments referred to a case before the Supreme Court.
Democrats managed to oust Santorum by running a candidate who was against abortion rights, Bob Casey.
The Inquirer will run a second column by George Curry on alternating Thursdays with Santorum. Curry is the former New York bureau chief for the Chicago Tribune and former editor of Emerge magazine.
