Is Rick Santorum insane?

I recently asked that question, but after seeing him on The Daily Show last night I must admit — gulp! — that I actually respect the man. He was intelligent and articulate, and not nearly as insane as much of his ideological rhetoric makes him out to be. I hardly agree with him on anything, but in sparring amicably with our favourite late-night host he proved that he’s a worthy adversary on the right.
