WASHINGTON D.C. – Some have accused Democrats of gloating after the election day win of both the House and Senate and if sales of the hottest new ring tone are any indication, gloating has never been more profitable. Pennsylvania Senator Rick Santorum, who lost to Bob Casey this past Tuesday, made a concession speech, surrounded by his wife and crying children, and now that speech is the number one selling ringtone in the country. According to Billboard, Santorum’s speech ringtone has outsold all others, a first for a spoken word ringtone. “It’s usually musicians at the top of the list, not conservative Republicans,” said Bill Ferguson, Billboard Ringtone Analyst. Santorum, whose conservative, religious political positions included his argument that if gay marriage was allowed in this country, making sex with animals legal would be next, lost his bid for reelection in Pennsylvania, but sales of the ringtone of his speech are a national phenomenon. “I hate that guy,” explained Cookie Williams, a hair stylist in West Hollywood, California, “I Tivo’d his speech and burnt DVD’s of it for all my friends, I’ve got a picture of him giving the speech as my screen saver and the ringtone is like a birthday present every time I get a call.” Republican Senator, Rick Santorum, giving his concession speech on election night, surrounded by his family, all wondering why God hates their dad.
