READING, PA - Regardless of how he had signed a stack of other documents, from bank records to income tax returns, a judge rejected a U.S. Senator's and Presidential Candidate request to be allowed to legally change his name to "God."
Berks County Senior Judge Forrest G. Schaeffer ruled Thursday that the Pennsylvania Department of State could require the man to sign his given name, Richard John Santorum, 53, “Rick,” Junior Senator of the State of Pennsylvania, and said documents he had signed in the past didn't prove differently.
"The so-called name change Santorum wants to apply is rather a series of scribbled marks in the U.S. Senate and don't establish any name at all," Schaeffer said. Santorum said he would appeal.
Santorum said, “I am God… a Greek God and I expect to be treated accordingly... Those who doubt me will pay dearly for this insolence.
Do you think my coterie of drag queens, George Allen, Karl Rove, Rupaul and Larry Craig, Louis Gomer, hell, Cantor would stand for this? I think not!”
