Santorum Defends Killing Big Bird

Rick Santorum got philosophical when asked about Mitt Romney’s pledge to cut off PBS funding, the Washington Post reports.

Said Santorum: “I’ve voted to kill Big Bird in the past. I have a record there that I have to disclose. That doesn’t mean I don’t like Big Bird. You can kill things and still like them, maybe to eat them, I don’t know. That’s probably that. Can we — can we go back on that one?”
