We can think of no better way to honor and celebrate the beginning of gay marriage in California than to revisit the most famous photo of the most anti-gay-rights Senator ever — Rick Santorum of Pennsylvania.
Here he is, in this classic shot by Robin Rombach of The Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, conceding to Pennsylvania's current U.S. Senator, Democrat Bob Casey, in November 2006.
We cats wonder if that little girl in the foreground has A) gotten over her father's well-deserved defeat, and B) given up dolls by now (in matching dresses or no). We wonder why the son on the right-hand side of the picture hasn't been cast in a new sequel to The Addams Family. Finally, we wonder why these people appear to be in such shock — since Mr. Santorum was consistently #1 on Chris Cillizza's list of endangered Republican Senate seats in '06.
We PURR at Robin Rombach for excellent work. (Ahhhh, the many hours we've enjoyed, gazing at this photo... And no wonder, since it's been displayed on our owners' refrigerator for the last year and a half.) And we PURR at the California Supreme Court, for championing equality in The Golden State.
