Seems pretty clear what he was saying. Why misrepresent what he says when we can just watch it? This wasn't even a funny thing.
He was clearly recounting a story that Imus's wife called to set up a teleconference, and Imus's wife said she "wanted a threesome." As Santorum made clear, there was a pregnant pause when Imus's wife said "I think I used the wrong word." No big deal at all.
So, the guy didn't say he wanted a threesome with Imus's wife. He wasn't showing repressed sexual desires. He was merely recounting a lapsus linguae by Imus's wife.
Out of the fertile ground to attack the guy on his record, why try for such silliness?
