Rick Santorum in Favor of Killing, Eating Big Bird

Mitt Romney's Big Bird quip during Wednesday night's debate has been the subject of a fair amount of mockery on the web this week.

Luckily, he's got surrogates like Rick Santorum to back him up…

"I've voted to kill Big Bird in the past," Romney's ex-primary rival said. "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?"

No need. I think you nailed it.
