Washington Times Snaps at 'Crats Over Games Legislation

The Washington Times is a traditionally right-leaning newspaper, and they've recently published an article damning games legislation. I would normally endorse such a tirade, but the article makes some tiresome omissions, keeping it from being just a decent opinion piece and turning it into an agenda-whore. GameDaily has a nice little piece calling the Washington Times on their crap:

Interestingly—or perhaps conveniently—the newspaper completely omits the fact that there have been a number of Republicans who've been on the violent video games legislation bandwagon, including Sam Brownback (R-KS), Rick Santorum (R-PA), as well as a number of Republican legislators who've sponsored video game bills in a number of states (Minnesota, Maryland, Louisiana, Oklahoma, etc.) over the last year.

Santorum's anti-gay nattering has gotten him into colloquial trouble already, but it occurs to me we have a wealth of legislators' names to appropriate for the video game cause. Something really revolting that relates to gaming should be nicknamed much as Santorum was. Now taking suggestions in the comment box.
