We're Sorry, This Number Has Been Disconnected

Pity the poor folks at the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette. As a routine part of their election coverage, they mail each candidate a letter with questions to answer for a special voters' guide the paper produces. Seems that something went a bit awry when they tried to get a hold of flailing incumbent GOP Senator Rick Santorum:

Back in March, as part of that process for the primary, the newspaper sent a letter to Rick Santorum at his home address, at least the one that he claims. Back from Penn Hills came the letter with a sticker from the U.S. Postal Service checked as 'Not Deliverable As Addressed -- Unable To Forward.'
As the paper has now repeatedly made clear, "[h]e doesn't live here anymore," with the emphasis being very rightly theirs.

And who could blame him? If you Senate career was in the toilet and your last name had been repurposed for something that would make a Bible-thumper blush, wouldn't you get the hell out of Dodge?
