Rick Santorum has confirmed that he's
the man lounging shirtless in a photo taken in Puerto Rico.
The photograph first appeared on the
gay blog Joe
My God. Blogger Joe Jervis explained that the photo had been
submitted by “James and Guy,” who snapped the photo from aboard
“an Atlantis all-gay cruise.”
Santorum discussed the photo during a
radio appearance on The Steve Cochran Show, which is recorded
in the AM 560 WIND studios in Chicago.
“You know how you can tell you've
made it to another level, Senator? There's a picture of you
lounging, minding your own business, you're not hurting anybody,
shirtless in Puerto Rico yesterday” Cochran said.
“They caught my sunbathing in Puerto
Rico!” Santorum answered, explaining that he decided to take a
break between campaign when “a paparazzi got me.”
Santorum apologized, saying he needed
to lose 15-20 pounds “because I know it's not a pretty sight.”
