Footage from a recent event in Janesville, Wisconsin, shows Santorum describing Obama as “the anti-war government nig-” before stopping himself and abruptly taking the conversation in a different direction. Some people are suggesting he was about to say “nincompoop” – but why catch yourself before saying that? The Daily What posits that he might have been about to say “governmentnik,” but seeing that’s not even really a word, and certainly not the kind of thing Santoum would be likely to say, I’m thinking he was just saying in public what he probably says in private.
