Santorum's Altamont

The Huffington Post talked to some of Rick Santorum's fraternity brothers, who are just as baffled as everyone else over the presidential hopeful's bizarre "liberal professors docked my grades" charge regarding Penn State. I loved this paragraph from the article:

On the trail this past week, Santorum went first person with a near memoir-ready pitch about the suffering he endured as a Republican at a land-grant university set in conservative farm country. The '60s had long ended. Political-correctness had yet to become a thing. But to this GOP presidential hopeful, Penn State University, with its old-fashioned football coach, quaint main street and famous ice cream shop, was his Altamont.

FYI. this below is the real Altamont -- not exactly one big Happy Valley. (h/t Attytood reader AW.)
