WHO: Former Sen. Rick Santorum, R-Pa. WHAT: While discussing the topic of torturing terrorist detainees, Santorum told Hugh Hewitt that McCain “didn’t understand how enhanced interrogation works.”

WHY IT’S DIM: McCain was brutally tortured as a prisoner of war during the Vietnam War, and as such knows a thing or two about “enhanced interrogation.”

CURE: If Santorum wants to run for president, he’s going to have to think before speaking next time.
