And in Seattle's "The Stranger" weekly, Dan Savage wants everyone to know that it's not funny to make fun of Rick Santorum's kids, ESPECIALLY when they're photographed bawling at dad's concession speech.
Dan Savage is, of course, the Seattle writer and sex advice columnist that made it his mission to spread Santorum in an early Google bomb effort:

So, I guess we should all join Dan in stressing that it's not funny to indulge in schadenfreude taken to a new level such as below:

The entire speech was shot with a junior Santorum visible on one side of the frame, in tears for nearly the whole time. Was it possible for the camera operator to zoom in closer to Santorum to avoid filming the son's crying? Or was a calculated part of the frame? Who is to say...
