In news obviously designed to make us ill, Rick Santorum has 21 new supporters: The Dugger family from the TLC show 19 Kids and Counting (another one of those skin-crawling reality shows that insidiously mock and glorify couples who choose to have waaaaaaay more children than anyone could ever possibly need). Patriarch Jim Bob Dugger—of course it's "Jim Bob"— his wife Michelle and all 19 kids are joining GOP wannabe Rick Santorum in Iowa and following him around as a show of support for the candidate. From The Hill:

"I'm asking families, Christians all over America, to get behind Rick Santorum for the next president of the United States," Duggar said in Boone, according to multiple reports.

"Rick Santorum is a pro-life, Christian conservative with the family values and common-sense business perspective that we need to get our nation back on track, to create jobs and to stand for what is right!" Duggar mom Michelle said in a statement, according to multiple reports.

Obviously, these are the worst people in the world and they are exactly what Santorum deserves. Actually, he's probably okay with having the kids around, since he's always been partial to little squirts. (Ba-dum-POW! Thank yew, thank yew, I'll be here all week.)
