It's no big surprise that Rosie O'Donnell doesn't support Rick Santorum as a viable candidate for the presidency, considering his stances on homosexuality, gay rights and same-sex parents. But she's found problems with much more than just that in his campaign, as she mentioned in a song she wrote to skewer him on "The Rosie Show" (Weeknights, 7 p.m. EST on OWN).
More recently, Santorum has been covering the media circuit trying to get his message out there and clear on issues of women's contraception. He's recently targeted Romney for his own more moderate views on it, hoping that his more conservative stance about whether or not contraception should be covered by health insurances will appeal to the right.
"His quotes are getting dumber by the day, he thinks he's already Prez," O'Donnell sang.
"He's anti-gay. He's anti-black. That little Rick's so anti, anti, he's an anti-vigilante. "How can he say he's the cream of the crop, for America what a shame."
No use considering a thing that he says, he'll lead the USA astray.
Santorum how he reams and rants, he's a true Republican't."
"The Rosie Show" airs weeknights at 7 p.m. EST on OWN.

Oscar Sunday is traditionally the one day of the year when Hollywood turns its back on sequels. This week's headlines, on the other hand, were rife with stories we'd seen before. In Afghanistan, 13 people, including two American soldiers, were killed in the aftermath of the burning of Korans at a U.S. military base (is unhinged Florida pastor Terry Jones preparing to demand royalties?). At the White House, President Obama again broke out in song, this time riffing on "Sweet Home Chicago" (as usual, the sequel didn't live up to the original: His "Let's Stay Together" was much cooler). Meanwhile, in Arizona, the GOP gave us the latest installment in the longest running horror series since Friday the 13th (this time out, Romney returned from the dead yet again after goading Rick Santorum into making a spirited defense of Senate process and earmarks). My actual Oscar picks: The Artist, Clooney and Viola Davis. The envelopes please...
Perhaps the profound disconnect between what people are really concerned about and what the 2012 candidates are talking about is why only 17 percent of Americans are satisfied with the way things are going.
I'm not exactly ready to say we've reached the end of the line for political gay-bashing in presidential election campaigns. But Rick Perry's widely-ridiculed "Strong" ad, in which he attacks the idea of gays serving openly in the military, surely shows we're getting there.
