More On Rick Santorum's Hanukkuh Card

It's a rare event when I can fill in the blanks like this on something The Trib published.  But first some context.

The Trib really really REALLY doesn't like lil Ricky.  And so it's understandable when they publish this:

Perhaps Rick Santorum was attempting to convert them.

News broke Wednesday that the Republican presidential contender and former U.S. senator from Pennsylvania made a thoughtful gesture to his Jewish supporters in South Carolina in December. His campaign sent them Hanukkah cards.

The cards were adorned with Stars of David, a pair of dreidels and the following inscription: "I am the light of the world; he who follows me will not walk in the darkness, but will have the light of life."

Where did that come from? It's from John 8:12 in the Bible's New Testament.

That's right -- the New Testament. If you need an explanation as to why that was such a hysterical faux pas, Santorum probably has a prominent position waiting for you on his campaign staff.

Turns out the Trib was telling the truth.
