Santorum: Obama is a NIG-the uh

[The Mikado]

I think he meant to say niggardly.

That's...pretty much impossible.  The standard GOP line on Obama is big-spender.  Niggardly is the absolute antonym of big-spender.  If anyone's "niggardly" in the 2012 race, it's Hon. Rep. Dr. Congressman Ron Paul (R-TX) M. D.

“Oh, come on!” Santorum spokesman Hogan Gidley told Raw Story when asked for comment. “Give me a break. That’s unbelievable. What does it say about those that are running with this story that that’s where their mind goes. You know, I’m not going to dignify that with [a response].”

Translation: 

Oh, come on!  Well, uh, er, you know, I really have no explanation why Senator Santorum would almost drop the "N" bomb on President Obama.  You know, I'm not going to dignify that with a response, because the truth of the matter is, I really don't have a response.

I was being sarcastic and speculating what sort of excuse would be used.

In 2010, some right-winger in the Central Valley put up a sign saying Obama was niggardly and it was clear that the person didn't know what the sign meant, because that would not be something any Republican would say about Obama if they really do know what it meant.

Hmmm, perhaps Santorum meant to say..........

niggle?..........

I wonder..........

[GM Griffin]

Or "anti-war, government nickel and dimer"?

Should we be cynical about this incident, or should we be giving Rick the benefit of the doubt?

I mean, there was the blah incident awhile back.
