Rick Santorum tells a story about Kent Tekulve, an old lady and a dog with a weak bladder

I have to say: The headline for this Rick Santorum-Kent Tekulve post really sells itself.

So with that said, I'm not going to write too much about this clip of the former Pennsylvania senator/GOP hopeful/high-profile crazyperson namedropping everyone's favorite Pittsburgh Pirates closer in a bid for votes at a Republican function on Saturday night.

Just sit back and enjoy as Santorum manages to brilliantly work "warm sensation," "huge wet spot," "Mr. Tekulve, I'm so excited to meet you" and "take your pants off"  into the same soundbite. It's not quite Ted Kennedy's "Sammy Sooser-Mike McGwire" quip, but it's up there.

WaPo's Election 2012 has a full transcript of the story on the off-chance you need any more context. Meanwhile, if you need me, I'll be offering the Romney and Gingrich camps an equal opportunity to come up with an entertaining story about meeting Dale Berra.
