Rick Santorum is reportedly telling friends he'll make a third run for president in 2016, but in the meantime, he's going to keep his name in the news by writing for the top birther website on the Internet. Santorum is becoming an "exclusive columnist" for World Net Daily, home to Jerome Corsi, author of Where's the Birth Certificate?which was published after President Obama's long-form birth certificate was released. To better understand the core audience of WND, check out this screen grab from the article announcing Santorum's column, below. The former Pennsylvania senator will feel right at home with the conspiracy-minded. Santorum's first column makes the case against ratifying a U.N. treaty that would forbid discrimination against people with disabilities. It would bring other nations' laws in line with the Americans with Disabilities Act, but Santorum says it would undermine U.S. sovereignty.
