Rick Santorum Is A Liar Or An Idiot

I'm leaning toward idiot (map of Santorum's imagination should be centered over Williston and not Grand Forks).  Via the Dish, this:

Rick Santorum made an odd comment in North Dakota on Wednesday. Praising the state for its energy production, he warned his audience that its success in the field might lead to terrorist attacks. CNN reports:

Rick Santorum warned a quiet North Dakota audience Wednesday that their state’s booming oil industry positioned the region as a prime target for terrorism.
“Folks, you’ve got energy here. They’re going to bother you. They’ll bother you, because you are a very key and strategic resource for this country,” the Republican presidential candidate said. “No one is safe. No one is safe from asymmetric threats of terrorism.”
Santorum pointed to Iran as the source behind future terrorist attacks, ramping up his rhetoric on a country he frequently discusses on the campaign trail.
“That’s what Iran will be all about unless we stop them from getting that nuclear weapon,” Santorum said.

What is this dumbf*ck thinking?  If Iran is going to target North Dakota for terrorist attacks, they are even stupider than Rick Santorum.  I think it is entirely hilarious that Republicans look like they might nominate this absolutely foolish jackass to run against Obama, and to get summarily destroyed.  Is a very large minority of this country's population really that ignorant?  I'm afraid they might be.
